To watch: Great STOLEN Art Explained; Egon Schiele & Fritz Gruenbaum

This video was done by James Payne, a curator, gallerist, and a passionate art lover. Check out his Youtube-channel Great Art Explained for other great videos

He writes about this film:

“This film looks at how stolen art “disappears” in a complicated practise designed to obscure facts and create wealth for the art market. How the true owners of these artworks, the descendants of Holocaust victims, are still fighting a system that stops at nothing to keep secrets and protect its wealthy clientele. There are works in private collections and established museums right now, which were stolen by the Nazis.
I think, it’s about time they were returned.”
