Fifty years after World War II the issue of the spoils of war remains current: many archives, books and works of art presumed lost have been rediscovered in recent years, particularly in Eastern Europe. In the spring fo 1946 the return of the looted books from Germany to the Netherlands started. These books had been taken from institutions including the Bibliothe Rosenthaliana Amsterdam University Library), Ets Haim (Portuguese Jewish Seminary) and the Grand East of the Netherlands and other Freemason collections. Later socialist-communist holdings were traced and sent back as well. ISBN: 9789068611366

Nazi-Looted Art and the Law: The American Cases

Cham, Springer, 2017. XIV,273 pp. Clean. Very good copy. Hardcover, uppercorner slightly bumped. Stolen Looted Art. Restitution. This book offers a clear, accessible account of the American litigation over the restitution of works of art taken from Jewish families during the Holocaust. For the past two decades, the courts of the United States have been an arena of conflict over this issue that has recently captured widespread public attention. In a series of cases, survivors and heirs have come forward to claim artworks in public and private collections around the world, asserting that they were seized by the Nazis or were sold under duress by owners desperate to escape occupied countries. Spanning two continents and three-quarters of a century, the cases confront the courts with complex problems of domestic and international law, clashes among the laws of different jurisdictions, factual uncertainties about the movements of art during and after the war, and the persistent question whether restitution claims have been extinguished by the passage of time.Through individual case studies,the book examines the legal questions these conflicts have raised and the answers the courts have given. From the internationally celebrated "Woman in Gold" lawsuit against Austria to lesser-known claims against Germany, Hungary, Spain, and museums and private collections in the United States, the book synthesizes the legal and evidentiary materials and judicial rulings in each case, creating a coherent narrative of proceedings that are often labyrinthine in complexity.

Art and Cultural Heritage: Law, Policy and Practice

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2006. XXVIII,562 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover. Heavy item. For shipment outside Europe, extra postage might be required.National and international law respecting cultural heritage. It is a bubbling cauldron of law mixed with ethics, philosophy, politics and working principles looking at how cultural heritage law, policy and practice should be sculpted from the past as the present becomes the future. Art and cultural heritage are two pillars on which a society builds its identity, its values, its sense of community and the individual. The authors explore these demanding concerns, untangle basic values, and look critically at the conflicts and contradictions in existing art and cultural heritage law and policy in its diverse sectors. The rich and provocative contributions collectively provide a reasoned discussion of the issues from a multiplicity of views to permit the reader to understand the theoretical and philosophical underpinnings of the cultural heritage debate.

Merryman, John Henry (editor)

Imperialism, Art and Restitution

Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2006. X, 267 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket, Spine dustj. slightly sunned. The issue of returning art and cultural property removed from explored or conquered lands by Americans and Europeans is an unresolved problem. This book is about the return, or not, of works of art and antiquity taken during the Age of Imperialism and now held in museums and private collections. Arguments put forth by the states seeking return or restitution for lost art treasures and meaningful cultural icons are pitted against conservator interests who maintain that these art treasures and cultural artefacts belong to all humanity and should be preserved in museums. In this volume, scholars and authorities on art, cultural property law and museum collections offer contrasting views on topics such as the Elgin Marbles, the return of the Nefertiti Bust and the problems and progress of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA).
