據(jù)德國媒體報(bào)道，1500多幅出自畢加索、馬蒂斯和夏卡爾之手的名畫在慕尼黑的一所公寓里現(xiàn)身。據(jù)估計(jì)這批"失而復(fù)得"的畫作價(jià)值約為13.5億美元。請聽駐柏林記者 Steve Evans 的報(bào)道。
The collection of works the Nazis stole from Jews was consigned to a dealer to be sold before the war. But the paintings then vanished; presumed destroyed.
The works consist of what the Nazis deemed 'degenerate art', that is, modern art. It now transpires that two years ago the authorities discovered this amazing and priceless collection in darkened rooms at the home of a reclusive relative of the pre-war dealer.
It seems the relative had been selling paintings occasionally, when he needed money. One work by the German expressionist Max Beckmann was sold two years ago for more than three-quarters of a million Euros.
The authorities have kept quiet, partly because ownership would be disputed. A mountain of litigation is no doubt on the way.
