Van Gogh Tug-a-war

Yale University is suing for the rights to ownership of Van Gogh's "Night Cafe."

The painting was donated to the school in 1961 by alumnus Stephen Carlton Clark and has been housed in the Yale University Art Gallery ever since. However, now the University's ownership of the 1888 painting has been challenged by a man who says he's a descendant of a previous owner.
