Gurlitt Had At Least 91 Works That Were Likely To Be Looted, Germans Now Say

July 19, 2016 by Marion Maneker

Cornelius Gurlitt

Ninety-one of the 502 works from the Gurlitt hoard have been found to be likely works that were stolen from Jewish owners during the Nazi regime, according to brief reports from the Associated Press today:

The government-backed German Lost Art Foundation said Monday that 502 works have been evaluated, including pieces by Paul Cezanne, Eugene Delacroix and Albrecht Duerer. The foundation is tasked with researching the origin of art hoarded by Gurlitt, who died in 2014. He had kept more than 1,200 works in his Munich apartment and 250 more in Salzburg, Austria.
