Museums To Return 202 Artworks For Jewish Owner
The Dutch National Art Collection must give 202 artworks to the heirs of Jacques Goudstikker, a Jewish gallery owner who fled the Netherlands ahead of the advancing Nazis in World War II and abandoned his possessions.
'It's always a shame when we lose one of our paintings because they're all important pieces," Rijksmuseum spokesman Boris de Munnick in an interview today. "I think it's important the family take their time to decide what to do."
