The University of Texas system and Ryan O’Neal are sparring over ownership of an Andy Warhol portrait of the actor’s longtime companion, Farrah Fawcett, The Associated Press reports.

The university claims the “Charlie’s Angels” actress gave one of Warhol’s portraits of her to the university’s Austin, Texas campus, whose board of regents sued O’Neal in federal court in Los Angeles on Friday, asking a judge to order him to turn over the painting.

O’Neal’s spokesman Arnold Robinson said the university has known for more than a year that the actor has painting. “This is completely ridiculous lawsuit,” Robinson wrote in a statement.

“Ryan O’Neal’s friendship with Andy Warhol began 10 years prior to his meeting Farrah Fawcett,” it continued. “When Ryan introduced Andy to Farrah, Mr. Warhol chose to complete two portraits of her, one for Ms. Fawcett and one for Mr. O’Neal. Mr. O’Neal looks forward to being completely vindicated in the courts.”

Warhol created the portraits in the 1980s.
