Czechs hunt lost Dürer copy
The replica, which is needed to help restore the original, was in London until 1945 - Martin Bailey | 8.10.07 | Issue 184 The Art Newspaper
LONDON. The National Gallery in Prague is trying to track down an important lost copy of a Dürer altarpiece.
This would provide invaluable evidence to guide the restoration of the original The Feast of the Rose Garlands, which is in Prague.
It is one of Dürer's greatest masterpieces, and is particularly important because it represents a union of German and Italian renaissance art.Research by The Art Newspaper has revealed that the earliest copy of the altarpiece was in London after World War II.
Prague curator Olga Kotková is anxious to locate the copy, since although it is recorded in a very old black-and-white photograph, it has never been reproduced in colour.The Feast of the Rose Garlands was painted by Dürer in 1506 during his stay in Venice, for the church of San Bartolomeo, where the German community worshiped. |
Grand Theft
The World's Greatest Art Heists
Forbes.com staff 02.12.08, 2:30 PM ET
Sunday afternoon, three men in ski masks entered the E.G. Buehrle Collection in Zurich, Switzerland, a half-hour before closing time. One brandished a pistol and ordered museum employees to the floor. The other two snatched paintings off the wall. They bolted to a getaway vehicle parked outside the museum.
The thieves' haul included masterpieces by van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne and Degas. Estimated value: More than $163 million.
Stunning? Sure. But it's just the latest in a long line of similar robberies. Art heists are probably as old as art itself. The modern era dates to the 1911 theft of the "Mona Lisa," when the self-styled Marques Eduardo de Valfierno paid three men to steal it from the Louvre in Paris. It's usually seen as the first great art heist of the 20th century. Since that time, countless works of major and minor art have been stolen.

Christie’s to offer part of a Collection of 200 Artworks Looted by Nazis and Recently Restituted to the Heir of Jacques Goudstikker by the Dutch Government - An International Exhibition Is Planned to Honor the Goudstikker Legacy
New York / London / Amsterdam – Christie’s International today announced it has been selected to assist the heirs of Jacques Goudstikker with the sale of over 100 of the 200 Old Master pictures restituted to the family in February 2006. Christie’s International Old Master Picture Department will oversee the sale of the pictures through three auctions: April 19 in New York, July 5 in London, and in November in Amsterdam. The paintings to be sold represent a breathtaking overview of Dutch Old Master pictures from the 15th to 19th centuries, along with excellent examples from 16th century Germany, early Italian and 18th century French works. |
JERUSALEM.- The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, presents Orphaned Art: Looted Art from the Holocaust in the Israel Museum, an exhibition exploring the fate of works of art looted during World War II that were subsequently brought to Israel. Culled from 1,200 such works held in custody by the Israel Museum, all of which lack clear ownership history, Orphaned Art features over fifty paintings, drawings, prints, and books, together with a selection of Jewish ceremonial objects, and includes such artists as Jan Both, Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, Marc Chagall, Egon Schiele, and Alfred Sisley.
On view through June 3, 2008, Orphaned Art presents a companion story to Looking for Owners: Custody, Research, and Restitution of Art Stolen in France during World War II, an exhibition on view concurrently at the Israel Museum that is drawn from the collection of stolen art in France known as Musées Nationaux Récupération (MNR).
“Orphaned Art offers an important opportunity to explore one dimension of the story of art looted during World War II, focusing specifically on those works whose histories vanished completely and which arrived in Israel during the early 1950s,” said James S. Snyder, the Anne and Jerome Fisher Director of the Israel Museum. “In presenting this exhibition concurrently with Looking for Owners, we hope to illuminate the range of ongoing efforts to conclude the saga of lost art and artifacts of World War II and to highlight the shared significance of this process within the international museum community.”

Experts Urge German Museums to Do More About Nazi-Seized Art
An international conference has called on German museums and cultural institutions to intensify their research into the origins of paintings that changed hands under the Nazis.
The organizations that finance the museums should provide sufficient funds to bankroll investigations into the origins of paintings that changed hands under the Nazis, the gathering of 260 experts from Germany, Israel and the US.
The meeting, organized by the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European-Jewish Studies, adopted a resolution calling for a "fair and just solution" in ongoing cases relating to compensation claims or restitution demands for art works sold under duress or confiscated by the Nazis. |
(From: The Art Newspaper) Government-backed company claims all Nazi loot from museums. If heirs cannot be found, the intention is to sell the works with proceeds going to Holocaust survivors.
