The heirs of a Jewish art collector discover that paintings seized by the Nazis during World War II were never returned to the family. They start searching and, occasionally, they are lucky. A work is traced to a museum or spotted at an auction and, after lengthy negotiations, the rightful owners recover it or receive compensation. But what happens when virtually an entire collection is lost? This is the challenge facing the heirs of Jacques Goudstikker, Amsterdam's leading prewar collector and dealer in Dutch and Italian old masters. Last month, after eight years of dillydallying, the Dutch government finally agreed to return 202 of his paintings, which had been hanging in Dutch museums since the 1950's. Another 1,000 or so are still missing. << http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/26/arts/design/26ridi.html?>> Peter A.
