A few weeks ago I wrote about the family disagreement with respect to where the aboriginal artist, Norval Morrisseau was to be buried. Four of his seven children are contesting his will saying their father was of unsound mind when he drew up this will and that he lacked approval or knowledge of its’ contents. Gabor Vadas, Morrisseau’s long-time caregiver is apparently the sole executor and beneficiary of the artist’s estate. He befriended the late artist almost 30 years ago when they were living on the streets of Vancouver and became like a son to the older man. There are millions of dollars at stake in this dispute as the artist is estimated to have painted 15, 000 works in his lifetime, with an estimate of from $5,000.00 to $100,000.00 for each of his paintings.
