Subscribers to RDG will recall the discussion last year of Sotheby's v City of Gotha, and the tricky legal issues which arise in connection with claims to assert title to works of art stolen during the Holocaust period and the Second World War. In this connection, subscribers may now be interested to learn that various British museums and art galleries have been investigating the provenance of the paintings and other artworks in their collections, in an attempt to discover whether claims might be made against them by the original owners or their families. The guiding principles of this undertaking and other details can be found at the following web-site:
