Frankel and Forrest: Museums' Initiation of Declaratory Judgment Actions and Assertion MUSEUMS' INITIATION OF DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ACTIONS AND ASSERTION OF STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS IN RESPONSE TO NAZI-ERA ART RESTITUTION CLAIMS-A DEFENSE Simon J. Frankel and Ethan Forrest* ABSTRACT Since the reunification of Germany brought greater access to information about the history and location of artworks that changed hands during the Nazi era, numerous restitution claims have been asserted to works held by U.S. museums. In a few instances, U.S. museums faced with such claims have initiated declaratoryjudgment actions seeking to quiet title to the works and have also invoked statutes of limitations or laches to bar the claims.

We are grateful to M. Aarts, Me Cornette de St. Cyr, M. Cornu, D. Delamarre, M. Fouado-Otsuka, Me Lelorier, T. Lenain, M. Melot, O. Meslay, D. Schulmann, B. Steyaert, G. Touzenis, H. Verschuur and S. Weyers for very useful conversations and comments. Neil De Marchi's very careful comments on a preliminary version of the paper at the Princeton Conference led to several changes. We also thank Alvin Huisman (2001) who collected data on auctions 1976-1999. The second author acknowledges financial support from Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique. 1 "We use copies to certify originals, originals to certify copies, then we stand bewildered." Hillel Schwartz Research on copies is essentially focused on industrial activities (books, records, fashion, protection of patents) and on the incentives or disincentives to creativity resulting from copyright.1 But copies are also linked to questions concerned with value, the allocation of property rights, and regulation, three central questions in economics. In his essay on imitation in the arts, Adam Smith (1795) considers that the exact copy of an artwork always deserves less merit than the original.2 But the hierarchy between copies and originals has changed over time. So has the perception of copies by lawyers, philosophers, art historians and curators. The observation of these changes can be used to analyze art tastes and practices.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

  • Problematic Provenance: Toward a Coherent United States Policy on the International Trade in Cultural Property
    COMMENTS PROBLEMATIC PROVENANCE: TOWARD A COHERENT UNITED STATES POLICY ON THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN CULTURAL PROPERTY MARY McKBNNA* 1. INTRODUCTION The 1980s have seen United States policy gradually retreat from the trend, traceable from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Convention of 1970 ("UNESCO Conven- tion") through the much-discussed McClain decisions1 of 1979, toward * J.D., 1990, University of Pennsylvania Law School; A.B., 1983, Harvard University. 1 The McClain case resulted in two proceedings and two appeals, United States v. McClain, 545 F.2d 988 (5th Cir. 1977), reh'g denied, 551 F.2d 52 (5th Cir. 1977), and United States v. McClain, 593 F.2d 658 (5th Cir. 1979). In the first appeal, the defendants were convicted of theft under the National Stolen Property Act, 18 U.S.C. §§ 2314, 2315 (1970 & Supp. 1990) [hereinafter NSPA], for dealing in pre-Columbian objects exported from Mexico in violation of Mexican law purporting to vest title to all such property in the Mexican government. Articulating the theory underlying the con- victions, the court reasoned that, for purposes of the NSPA, which forbids the transpor- tation in interstate commerce or the receipt of stolen goods, illegally exported artifacts subject to such a national declaration of ownership are "stolen." The second McClain appeal resulted in a reversal of the substantive NSPA conviction (although the court of appeals sustained convictions for conspiracy) on the grounds that the particular statute upon which the Mexican government based its claim was too vague to satisfy United States constitutional standards for criminal proceedings. However, the decision left open the possibility that a person might be convicted under the NSPA for conduct like that of the McClain defendants under similar circumstances.

PETROPOULOS HERRMANN-NEISSE With Cognac-Glass, : SELF-PORTRAIT WITH MODEL and : REPUBLICAN AUTOMATONS, : Three Paintings by George Grosz : : Defendants in rem. : : -----------------------------------------------------X JONATHAN G. PETROPOULOS deposes and certifies, as follows: 1. I am over the age of twenty-one and reside at 526 West 12th Street, Claremont, California, 91711. I have been retained by the attorneys for the heirs of George Grosz to provide this Declaration in relation to factual issues arising from a motion by the defendant, The Museum of Modern Art (“The MoMA”), to dismiss the First Amended Complaint (“FAC”). 2. Specifically, I have been requested to review two questions: (1) whether the allegations that three paintings by George Grosz, Portrait of the Poet Max-Herrmann- Neisse (with Cognac Glass), Self-Portrait with Model and Republican Automatons (together “the Paintings”), were lost or stolen are grounded in historical fact; and (2) whether the report of Nicholas deB. Katzenbach (“the Katzenbach Report”) submitted in support of the motion to dismiss is consistent with the historical record and provenance documentation available to art historians and scholars. As set forth below, a review of available documentation and scholarly resources shows: (1) that the allegations of the FAC appear to be supported by documentary evidence and otherwise well-grounded in historical fact and (2) that the statements contained in the Katzenbach Report are inconsistent with the historical record.

  • Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons
    Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons by Elizabeth Yoder Moss A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Elizabeth Yoder Moss 2016 Framing the Holy: Revetments on Late Byzantine Icons Elizabeth Yoder Moss Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Art University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This study examines icon revetments produced during the late Byzantine period (1261–1453), situating them within the diversity of mixed-media, multisensory, and multivalent devotional images that combined personal piety with conspicuous consumption and the public spectacle of lavish patronage. These works are evidence of the “ornamental turn”—a paradigm shift marked by the increase of ornament on visual works that mediated wealth, spiritual devotion, and social power. Revetted icons do not make arguments about the faithful representation of prototypes; they make arguments about faithful veneration. Beginning with a historiographic study of ornament, the thesis examines how the ornamental vocabulary on revetments manifests relationships between specific decorated icons. Indices of ornament motifs and a catalogue of surviving icon revetments and frames from the eleventh through fifteenth centuries constitute the appendices. In chapter 2, I argue that the previously unstudied decorated strips added to the icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria in Ohrid were part of a larger project aimed at legitimizing Serbian emperor Stefan Uroš IV Dušan (r. 1331–55) and his archbishop Nicholas in Ohrid. They structured their leadership in the Balkans on their contemporaries in Constantinople. In chapter 3, I present a new reading of the dedicatory prayers inscribed on the icon of the Mother of God in Freising.

  • Nazi-Looted Art and Its Legacies: Introduction
    Nazi-Looted Art and Its Legacies: Introduction Andreas Huyssen, Anson Rabinbach, and Avinoam Shalem In early 2012 German officials investigating violations of tax law discovered a trove of mainly nineteenth- and early twentieth-century European paintings and drawings in the Munich apartment and Salzburg house of Cornelius Gurlitt, the reclusive son of the prominent art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt. The elder Gurlitt had worked for the Nazis but also counted a number of artists despised by them among his friends. Since then, the story of the Gurlitt collec- tion has made headlines worldwide. Beyond the bizarre obsession of the aging son, who lived with and for his artworks hidden from public view, the case raises fundamental questions about the role of art dealers during and after the Third Reich, the mechanics of a largely secretive and insufficiently docu- mented market in looted art, the complicity of art historians and business associations, the shortcomings of postwar denazification, the failure of courts and governments to adjudicate claims, and the unwillingness of museums to determine the provenance not just of Cornelius Gurlitt’s holdings but of Generous funding for the conference was provided by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the German Academic Exchange Service, and Columbia’s Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies. We are also grateful for a donation by Lee Bollinger and Jean Magnano Bollinger. New York’s Jewish Museum provided a festive space for the opening lecture. At Columbia, the conference was cosponsored by the Heyman Center for the Humanities, the Department of History, the University Seminar on Cultural Memory, the Middle East Institute, and the Department of Germanic Languages.
