ART NET NEWS – Philip Parente filed the lawsuit against MoMA in Manhattan federal court on October 26, court documents show. He is seeking punitive and compensatory damages, including damages for mental and emotional distress and back-pay. Parente, a native New Yorker living in Brooklyn, had considered his career with the museum his “dream job,” according to the lawsuit, after developing a love for painting and drawing in school. Now he claims the museum violated his rights under the Americans With Disabilities Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. “I devoted my entire professional life to MoMA.”
