The UT System is suing actor Ryan O’Neal for the wrongful possession of Andy Warhol‘s 1980 portrait of late former UT student Farrah Fawcett, saying the actress bequeathed her collection of art to UT.

The UT System Board of Regents filed the suit Friday at the Central District Court of California in Los Angeles asking O’Neal to transfer the portrait to UT Austin, according to the lawsuit.

In the early 1980s, artist Andy Warhol made two portraits of actress Farrah Fawcett and, according to the suit, gave them to her as gifts.
