Just wanted to update you all and let you know I’m literally in the middle of moving (writing this in the airport) and so coverage of the fall sales might be a little slow. I’ll try my best, though!

Netherlands to Return Nazi-looted Paintings
September 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment
The Dutch government will return 13 paintings to descendants of Jewish owners from whom they were looted during Nazi occupation. Twelve paintings (including “Village in Wintertime” by Jan van Goyen) will be returned to the heirs of Hans Ludwig Larsen and one painting (“Portrait of a Man” by Thomas de Keyser) will be handed over to the heirs of Richard Semmel.
You can read Catherine Hickley’s account of it at Bloomberg’s Muse Arts.
