(AP Photo/Julie Jacobson, File)A New Jersey appeals court on Thursday ruled against famed pop artist Peter Max in a dispute over millions of dollarsโ worth of his works that were damaged in a warehouse during Superstorm Sandy. Max and his associated companies allege the justice incorrectly calculated the worth of the damaged works by applying a discount to some entire categories, including posters. The appeals court also wrote in its ruling that it lacked jurisdiction and left the lower court's decision undisturbed. An attorney representing Max said he was reviewing the opinion and considering whether to appeal to the state Supreme Court.
