Notify me about this case

The Von der Heydt Museum announced that Max Slevogt’s Paradiesvögel (1900) had been restituted to Eduard Fuchs’s heirs. Wuppertal’s city council approved the return after provenance research concluded that the 1937 auction sale of the painting was a loss resulting from Nazi persecution. Image of the painting: Ketterer Kunst, lot 152.
