他们声称1936年纳粹洗劫了梵高的一幅画 赫斯控告大都会和希腊基金会 Heirs sue the Met and a Greek foundation over a Van Gogh painting they say was looted by Nazis in 1936.

逃离纳粹德国的一对犹太夫妇的母子正在对Van Gogh的一幅画起诉大都会和一个希腊基金会,声称该画于1936年被洗劫,后来于1956年被大都会收购。 Heirs of a Jewish couple who fled Nazi Germany are suing the Met and a Greek foundation over a Van Gogh painting, alleging it was looted in 1936 and later acquired by the Met in 1956. 他们声称,尽管博物馆与已知的抢劫网络有联系,但博物馆未能调查其纳粹时代的起源,并寻求归还或赔偿。 They claim the museum failed to investigate its Nazi-era origins despite ties to known looting networks, and seek its return or compensation. 这幅画从斯特恩家族传到美国收藏家手中,然后传到希腊航运巨头基金会,该基金会在未承认其有争议的历史的情况下展示了它。 The painting passed from the Sterns to American collectors, then to a Greek shipping magnate’s foundation, which displays it without acknowledging its contested history. Met否认错失行为,称它不知道有家庭联系,并遵循了适当的程序。 The Met denies wrongdoing, stating it was unaware of the family connection and followed proper procedures. 该案是在加利福尼亚州先前被解职之后发生的,与芝加哥针对另一起Van Gogh案正在进行的诉讼并行。 The case follows a prior dismissal in California and parallels an ongoing Chicago lawsuit over another Van Gogh.
