An American lawyer is suing for $1 billion to recover art looted by the Nazis. “The suit, brought by a new group calling itself the Association of Holocaust Victims for the Restitution of Artwork and Masterpieces, calls on two leading Austrian banks, the Austrian government and Sotheby’s auction house to return paintings and other works allegedly sold without the permission of their original Jewish owners. ‘Not one painting has been restored — not one,’ Edward Fagan said, contending the missing artworks include paintings by Monet, Cezanne, Delacroix and other Impressionist masters. ‘These victims are suing to recover their property’.”
