Gustav Klimt's painting "Apple Tree II" hung in Vienna's Gallery until 2001, when it was restituted by the Austrian state to the wrong family of Holocaust victims.

The real owner was Elisabeth Bachofen-Echt, née Lederer.

What a mess.
Will Austria fix it?

"The slightest effort to check the story issued to the press would have shown that the paintings do not belong to Poland but to the Czartoryski family whose entire Gołuchów collection was seized by the Nazis in 1941. The seizure of the collection was famously described and given as an example of Nazi art plunder by the American prosecutors at the Nuremberg Trials in 1945-6 where art looting was prosecuted as a war crime." lootedart.com/VVP4CD190731

ChatGPT is so bad at providing information about Nazi art cases that I asked if it blacklisted certain words or phrases and it does

James Rorimer was a leading figure in the art recovery unit (the Monuments Men) in WWII. This book is his first hand account of

Notes From Poland - Poland seeks UNESCO help in returning art looted by Germany in WWII

In this @notesfrompoland news story, the Polish government calls upon UNESCO to return cultural artifacts taken during WWII. I always find this ironic given the Polish government's stance on returning looted art in their possession.

Finally returning home after 125 years.
Words can not express how deeply ashamed I am for the way my country has treated - and is still continuing to treat - righteous demands to return stolen cultural goods and to make amends.
125 years, it seems, are not enough to overcome imperialistic arrogance.

“With regard to looted art he said: "The need for continued provenance research and the difficulty of matching looted art with original owners and heirs, as well as the reluctance of institutions and individual owners to surrender their holdings, has very much limited the implementation of the Washington Principles on Nazi-Confiscated Art which were reaffirmed and broadened in the Terezín Declaration and at this November 2022 Conference.”
