A federal judge in Manhattan has dismissed a $40 million lawsuit against a foundation created by the prolific New York City artist Keith Haring, tossing claims that the foundation destroyed the value of more than 100 purported Haring works by publicly calling them fakes.

She also dismissed six separate tort claims under New York law, including defamation, tortious interference with prospective business relations and intentional infliction of economic harm.
