I paid about $200K for a 25% interest in a Camille Pissarro painting. I need to sue for specific performance of the sale of the painting.

More details to this question:
The matter is complicated by the fact that I invested with my tenant of my Catskill, NY house. I am now convinced that my tenant never had any intention of selling the painting and giving me my share. I want to sue him in NY County on the painting and in the county where the house is for $26,000 of back rent owed. I'm afraid he will disappear and maybe damage my house before he leaves.

To get a judgment for back rent, you need to do an eviction. That must be where the property is located. I am not sure what NY County has to do with the case, but if there is jurisdiction you can sue there. The sale issue will be governed by the documents.
