Steve McQueen’s family’s $70 million art war: Granddaughter says Pollock was stolen

The Getaway hunk transferred the painting to the married couple, but the deal fell apart after one of the Borcherts “crashed” the motorcycle and the deed to the Latigo Canyon location was never transferred, according to the lawsuit.

“Steve McQueen demanded the return of the Pollock painting within a reasonable time thereafter,” the lawsuit said. “However, the Borcherts failed to return the painting to Steve McQueen.”

After the King of Cool suffered a heart attack and died in 1980 at age 50 following surgery to remove tumors from his neck and stomach, the Borcherts “failed to return the painting to his estate,” according to the claim filed in Los Angeles Superior Court in August.

Since then, “the Borcherts have passed away, their respective estates have been settled and the Pollock painting is now in the possession of Brent Borchert, their son,” who is the one being sued, Molly’s attorneys said.
