aic appeals return of egon schiele drawing

The Art Institute of Chicago is appealing a New York court order to return Egon Schiele's drawing *Russian War Prisoner* (1916) to the heirs of its original owner, Fritz Grünbaum, a Jewish art collector who died in a Nazi concentration camp. The museum secured a temporary stay while it pursues the appeal, following an April ruling by Justice Althea Drysdale that found credible evidence the 1956 sale to Swiss dealer Eberhard Kornfeld was illegitimate. The drawing was seized from the museum in September 2023 and remains off view.

emergency stay art institute of chicago schiele restitution case

The Art Institute of Chicago has been granted an emergency stay by an appellate judge, pausing the restitution of Egon Schiele's drawing "Russian War Prisoner" (1916) to the heirs of Fritz Grünbaum, a Jewish cabaret performer and art collector who died in a Nazi concentration camp. The museum is appealing a New York Supreme Court judge's April 23 order to surrender the artwork, which has been off view since September 2023 when it was seized by the Manhattan District Attorney's office. The museum disputes that the work was looted, citing evidence that Grünbaum's sister-in-law recovered the collection after the war and sold it to a dealer.

art institute of chicago nazi looted schiele drawing return

A New York judge has ordered the Art Institute of Chicago to return Egon Schiele's 1916 drawing to the heirs of Fritz Grünbaum, an Austrian Jewish art collector persecuted during the Holocaust. The ruling, issued by Judge Althea Drysdale, determined that the work was looted by the Nazis and that the museum failed to properly scrutinize its provenance, relying on discredited records from Swiss dealer Eberhard Kornfeld. The drawing had been in the museum's collection since 1966 and was seized in 2023; the museum plans to appeal.
