#Repost @opensocietyfoundations (@get_repost) ・・・ A new, four-year initiative from the Open Society Foundations will help those who are working to return cultural artifacts taken from Africa to their rightful homes. As Open Society President Patrick Gaspard notes, this is fair and just—and it's long overdue.

Holocaust-era art restitution: more complex than you think !

"[...] Now “Nazi-looted art” has become a journalistic catchphrase frequently applied with scant basis in fact. 

In November 2013, newspapers and magazines around the world trumpeted the discovery of 1,500 Nazi-looted artworks, said to be worth over €1bn, amassed by the German dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt. None of this was true. 

Many works of art do not have complete provenances, particularly drawings, watercolours and prints. [...]Therefore, the rush to judgment can lead to errors, as happened in 2000, when Austria restituted Gustav Klimt’s Apple Tree II (1916) to the wrong family."

Favorite tweets: Insight into the GDPR (EU data protection laws) and its impact on provenance research shows a stunning road block for #Restitution. It seems the EU wants to prevent the #ReturnTheArt movement... #WashingtonPrinciples2018 pic.twitter.com/RlMAFgg3ZZ— Cultural Restitution (@ArtRestitution) November 29, 2018
