NEW YORK A New York State Supreme Court judge has cleared the way for a trial on claims against Getty Images by Art Capital Group, the company that loaned photographer Annie Leibovitz $24 million last year. ACG has alleged that Getty violated two binding legal contracts when the agency made a $1.1 million deal with the photographer last spring to represent her for a series of assignments.

Leibovitz put up her archives (prints and negatives) as well as her studio and two residences as collateral in exchange for a $24 million loan.
