SUMMARY:Kansas and Western District of Missouri Chapter: From Murder to Museums: Current Controversies Over Nazi-Looted Art
DESCRIPTION:The program will kick off with a panel “introduction to art law” followed by Raymond Dowd’s presentation\, which recounts epic legal battles including the seizure of two\nstolen Schieles spotted at the Salon+Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory in\nNovember 2015. The seizure and return of the artworks garnered international\nheadlines upon their restitution to the heirs of Fritz Grunbaum\, a Viennese cabaret\nartist who was murdered in the Dachau Concentration Camp. The Schieles are now\nat Christie’s while Grunbaum’s heirs continue to fight the London art dealers’\nappeals. \nThe presentation traces Abraham Lincoln’s idea of taking the profit out of war\nthrough the Lieber Code Executive Order 100 of April 1863\, to the 1899 and 1907\nHague Conventions\, to the Nuremberg Trials\, demonstrating that returning stolen\nproperty to Holocaust victims is consistent with American ideals and foreign\npolicy. \nDowd discusses how 1. Confiscatory US tax laws\, 2. A fair market value deduction\nfor artworks donated to museums\, and 3. An unwillingness of museums to look gift\nhorses in the mouth led to the current situation: US museums with large\ninventories of unprovenanced works that left Europe after 1933\, but were created\nprior to 1946. History’s greatest robbery has long been concealed by history’s\ngreatest murder\, Congress passing the HEAR Act of 2016 extended the statute of\nlimitations for Nazi looted art claims and reaffirmed America’s commitment to\nrighting an historic wrong. \nKey note: Raymond J.
