Fair solution under the Washington Declaration
Hannover - 2007-09-25 - K. Asmuss
On September 24, the city Hanover handed over one of the most important landscape paintings of the German expressionist Lovis Corinth to inheriting the outstanding art historian Curt Glaser. Thus, the opus "Römische Campagna", dating from 1914, is restituted according to the requirements of the Washington Declaration. Curt Glaser, although being baptized evangelic, has been removed from his office as ther Berlin Art Library's Director and was forced to emigrate in 1933 under the regime of the NS. In order to finance his and his wife's escape, he had to let auctioneerd his art collection, including Corinth's "Römische Campagna". The city Hanover acquired the painting, whose value today amounts approximatly € 440.000, 1949 from the lawyer Conrad Doebbeke, whose art collection, since it has been attributed having facilitated jewish emigration, in this context turned out to require urgently a closer appraisal.
