New York appeals court lifts stay in dispute over Christie’s Degas sale
A New York appeals court lifted a stay in a claim against Christie’s concerning the 2009 sale of a Degas pastel from the former collection of Margarete Kainer. Her putative heirs allege the work was looted under the Nazis and sold without their consent. The ruling allowed proceedings to continue without determining ownership.
