(New York, March 27, 2020 for immediate release) The Kunstmuseum Basel and the heirs of Curt Glaser have agreed on a fair and just solution according to the principles of the 1998 Washington Conference.The parties involved have agreed that the approximately 200 works of art in question will remain in the Kunstmuseum Basel and thus remain accessible to the public. The Kunstmuseum Basel will pay a financial compensation to Curt Glaser's heirs and will also organize a comprehensive exhibition in 2022 regarding Curt Glaser and his work as a collector, art historian, art critic and museum director.

Georg Kreis verschwieg Basler Raubkunst-Akte - Georg Kreis concealed Basel art seizure file

has works in the collection

Kreis war Mitglied der bekannten Bergier-Kommission, welche die Rolle der Schweiz im Zweiten Weltkrieg untersuchte. Der Historiker war verantwortlich für die Studie zum Thema Raubkunst. In dieser Funktion kam er in Kontakt mit den historischen Unterlagen zum heiklen Kauf der Glaser-Sammlung 1933, welche das Basler Kunstmuseum belastet hätten. Doch der renommierte Professor hat einen der wohl grössten Fälle von Raubkunst – sogenanntem verfolgungsbedingtem Verlust – der Schweiz verschwiegen und damit das Basler Kunstmuseum vor unangenehmen Schlagzeilen und vermutlich auch früheren Rückgabeforderungen durch die Glaser-Erben bewahrt (German)

claim for restitution of an artwork

In 2004, an American law firm on behalf of the heirs of Curt Glaser asked the Kunstmuseum Basel for information about two lithographs by Edvard Munch. Three years later, the heirs laid claim to all the works of art acquired at the auction, at best against compensation for the purchase price paid at the time. In 2008, the Basel Government decided against restitution of the works. (English)

Im März 2021 meldeten sich die Anwälte der Erben von Lotte Gräfin von Wesdehlen beim Kunstmuseum Basel und forderten die Rückgabe des Gemäldes. Das Museum war zu jenem Zeitpunkt bereits an einer Tiefenrecherche zum Bild, wie die Leiterin der Provenienzforschung am Kunstmuseum Basel, Tessa Rosebrock, dieser Redaktion sagt. Diese Recherchen sind nun abgeschlossen. (German)
