Picasso Withrawn from Christie's sale over concerns of Nazi-era seizure after a German man claimed his relative's family sold the painting under Nazi duress
Picasso Sale Can Go On after the case was dismissed, although the family turned around and filed again, causing Chritie's to withdraw the painting from the sale
Christie's Rides Art Broom, setting an art world record for its Impressionist auction, even without the Picasso that was withdrawn, a record $491 million. Included were several Klimt's including the one I blogged about a few months ago which was itself the subject of restitution litigation. The owner in that case, who won her suit, wanted it to be available to public on display rather than remain in private hands.
