Mondrian at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Is Allegedly Nazi Loot

Published on , by La Gazette Drouot

The heirs of Piet Mondrian are demanding that the Philadelphia Museum of Art returns a 1926 abstract painting. They claim that the painting, now estimated at $100M, was seized from a German museum in 1937 and sold in New York by Karl Buchholz, a dealer who was assigned by the Nazis to sell “degenerate” art for profit.
