The grandson of an Austrian Holocaust victim has served a lawsuit on the billionaire cosmetics magnate Leonard Lauder to demand the return of a Klimt painting he claims was looted by the Nazis.Georges Jorisch says Gustav Klimt's 1906 oil on canvas painting - called Blooming Meadow and worth up to £10m - belonged to his Jewish grandmother, Amalie Redlich, before she was sent to her death in Poland.Mr Lauder, the chairman of Estee Lauder Companies, bought the painting in 1983 from Serge Sabarsky, an Austrian-born art dealer. It currently hangs in his New York apartment. (English)

Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress and a longtime advocate of Holocaust restitution, and the estate of Serge Sabarsky, a well-known art collector.

The Heirs of George Grosz Battle His Dealer's Ghost; A Protracted Lawsuit Outlives Its Target, But Not Its Anger (Published 2001) (English)
27 August 2001
25 December 2024
For six years the Grosz estate has been quietly pursuing a suit, first filed against Mr. Sabarsky when he was elderly and ailing, then against his business, the Serge Sabarsky Gallery in New York, presently not in operation. In that suit, filed in State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the Grosz estate claims that Mr. Sabarsky secretly acquired 440 Grosz works for himself, primarily drawings and watercolors produced in Germany in the 1910's and 20's, the period of his most valuable artwork. Another 110 works are missing, the Grosz estate says. (English)

Metropolitan Listing Discloses Sale of 5 More Major Paintings (English)
25 January 1973

John L. Hess
The museum declined to reveal prices paid and obtained or to list works “deaccessioned” for sale but withdrawn from the market. It did, however, accede to requests for a list of all objects disposed of in the last two years, and for the appraisals consulted in the disposal of the six French masters.The list showed sales last year of 50 paintings from the bequest of the late Adelaide Milton de Groot, whose will requested that the Metropolitan give to other museums any pictures it did not want.Of these, 45 had been reported previously in The Times. The five others were Renoir's “In the Garden at Cagnes” and Boudin's “Market in Brittany,” sold to the Newhouse Galleries, and three paintings by Max Beckmann, the late German expressionist, sold to Serge Sabarsky, the dealer.

How the Met's Sale of a Max Beckmann Painting Changed US Museums (English)

Beckmann’s “Self-Portrait with Cigarette” belonged to the Metropolitan Museum until 1971, when its deaccession set off a series of disputes that reshaped museum practices. (English)
In particular, he had set aside three pieces by Beckmann, including a painting typical of the artist’s moody, self-reflective style that he had made just before leaving Europe for what proved to be the last time, “Self-Portrait with Cigarette” (1947). The sale of the self-portrait, along with the two additional Beckmanns, was intended to enable the museum to acquire “Becca,” a 1965 piece by the sculptor David Smith, a popular artist in the New York school cohort that Geldzahler worked so hard to promote.But the sell-off ran into stern opposition in the form of one André Mayer, the French-born financier who chaired the Met’s acquisitions committee and wanted from Geldzahler an estimate for the value of the three works. Geldzahler came back with a figure — the Beckmanns, he said, were worth no more than $25,000 apiece — that prompted Mayer to question the curator’s valuation method and asking for an outside evaluation of the pieces.Instead, the Beckmanns were sold via what Hoving termed a “silent auction” for $95,000 to Serge Sabarsky, the Vienna-born art dealer whose collection went on to make up the heart of the collection of the Neue Galerie (which contributed two of the Beckmann show’s 39 pieces).
