An official announcement confirms the handover of Paul Signac’s Quai de Clichy. Temps gris (Opus 156) on 3 July 2019 to a representative of Gaston Prosper Lévy’s family. Provenance research into the Gurlitt collection identified it as Nazi-looted property. This was the sixth restitution from that collection. This painting is distinct from Port de la Rochelle.
