Nazi1 stolen art found in Germany

Summary

4 November 2013

A collection of 1,500 works of art by famous painters such as Picasso, Matisse and Chagall has been found in the city of Munich, according to German media. The value of the works is thought to be $1.35bn.

Reporter:

Steve Evans

Report

The collection of works the Nazis2 stole from Jews was consigned3 to a dealer4 to be sold before the war. But the paintings then vanished; presumed destroyed.

The works consist of what the Nazis deemed 'degenerate5 art', that is, modern art. It now transpires6 that two years ago the authorities discovered this amazing and priceless collection in darkened rooms at the home of a reclusive relative of the pre-war dealer.

It seems the relative had been selling paintings occasionally when he needed money. One work by the German expressionist Max Beckmann was sold two years ago for more than three-quarters of a million Euros ($1m). 

The authorities have kept quiet, partly because ownership would be disputed. A mountain of litigation is no doubt on the way.
