The heirs of a Jewish collector whose art was seized by the Nazis as she fled Germany in 1936 are suing the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Athens-based Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation to secure the return of (or compensation for) a Vincent van Gogh painting.The lawsuit, filed last week in the US District Court for Northern California in Oakland, lists as plaintiffs nine heirs of Hedwig Stern, a collector who fled Nazi Germany and eventually settled in Berkeley. The lawsuit alleges that the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation continues to hold the painting despite its provenance problems, and that the Met acquired it in 1956 and then “secretly sold” it in 1972 to avoid facing restitution claims.The work in question, La cueillette des olives (The Olive Picking, 1889), was featured in Van Gogh and the Olive Groves earlier this year at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and is currently back on view at the Basil & Elise Goulandris Foundation’s museum in Athens. On the foundation’s website, its provenance does not include Stern but features a gap between 1924 and around 1948, a period that entirely covers the systematic despoliation of Jewish Germans’ wealth by the Nazis.
