“As the result of an out-of-court settlement, Bay Area resident Thomas Bennigson will receive $6.5 million from Marilynn Alsdorf of Chicago for a Pablo Picasso painting reportedly stolen by the Nazis from Bennigson’s grandmother years before Alsdorf acquired it in 1975… The settlement ends a protracted legal battle over Picasso’s 1922 oil ‘Femme en blanc’ (Woman in White). The dispute began in 2002, when Bennigson sued to have the painting returned to him.”
