Old Master Paintings: The Legal Landscape
In recent years countless important Old Master Paintings that were seized during World War II have been restituted to the families that once owned them. This course will focus on the legal landscape and behind-the-scenes stories of some of the treasured paintings which are featured in the upcoming Old Master Paintings auction. Cultural property lawyer and art historian Frank Lord will provide first-hand knowledge of the restitution of some of these important works, with particular attention being paid to paintings from the Jacques Goudstikker Collection. The morning lecture will be followed by a special preview of the sale. The afternoon concludes with a talk by Fine Art Connoisseur magazine editor Peter Trippi, who will discuss new approaches to hanging and interpreting Old Master Paintings.
