GERMANY-NAZI-ART-HISTORY
A combo made on November 21, 2013 of handout photos made available by German prosecutors of Augsburg on the German Federal official website www.lostart.de shows 15 drawing, lithographie and woodcarving by Edvard Munch identified as (from top, LtoR) "Grabende Arbeiter (Graving workers)", "Die Konprätendenten: Hâkon und Margrete (The throne pretenders: Hakon and Margrete)", "Die Frauen und das Gerippe (The women and the skeleton)", "Trauerbesuch (Mourning visit)", "Meer der Liebe (Sea of love)", "Der Sohn (The son)", "Asche (ashes)", "Liegender Halbakt I (Lying half naked woman)", "Abend, Melancholie I (Evening, Melancholy I)", "Ruhende Frau (Halbakt) (resting woman, half naked)", "August Strindberg", "Ingeborg Heiberg", 4, "Birgitte I" and "Birgitte III", that all belong to the 1,400 treasured art works "for which there is strong suspicion that they were seized as part of Nazi persecution" and that were seized in February 2012 in a Munich apartment. Public prosecutors in the southern city of Augsburg had been in charge of the investigation against Cornelius Gurlitt, the elderly son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, a powerful Nazi-era art dealer and collector who acquired the paintings in the 1930s and 1940s. The photos of 590 art works started being published online on Lostart.de website after the announcement of German Culture Ministry.
