Munich Art Trove
In the
spring of 2012, an extensive art collection was seized in Munich. Within the
context of the subsequent investigative research, the first, time-consuming
step of identifying the secured works was carried out.
Apart from
the seized objects that clearly bear no relation to so-called 'Degenerate Art'
or 'Nazi-Stolen Art', approximately 970 works were and are to be examined.
Approximately 380 of these works have been identified as seized works of
so-called 'Degenerate Art' that were confiscated by the National Socialists
within the context of the so-called "Degenerate Art" campaign of
1937.
With regard
to the remaining works, among other things it is to be examined whether these
were confiscated due to Nazi persecution (so-called "Nazi-Stolen
Art"). Against this background, investigations into approximately 590
works have begun regarding such confiscation due to Nazi persecution.
These
investigations have so far revealed reasonable grounds for suspecting that the
following objects were confiscated due to Nazi persecution.
