4 looted paintings sold back to Netherlands
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands -- The U.S. heirs to a major collection of art looted by the Nazis and finally returned after years of legal wrangling have sold four paintings back to the Dutch government for $4 million and donated a fifth work.
Marei von Saher, heir to the "Goudstikker Collection," said that she wanted to show her gratitude in particular to a professor who headed an independent Dutch commission on Nazi-era claims.
Rudi Ekkart's recommendation led to the return of around 200 paintings worth an estimated $79 million to $110 million.
