Neue Galerie Cleans Up Embarrassing Restitution Issue with Payment to Family of Karl Schmidt-Rotluff Owner

September 28, 2016 by Marion Maneker

Another German Expressionist was in the news today as The New York Times reveals the Neue Galerie has made a settlement on Karl Schmidt-Rotluff’s nude which has been in the museum’s collection but was still subject to a lingering dispute:

The Neue Galerie of New York has reached a restitution settlement for “Nude,” a 1914 painting by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, with the heirs of a Jewish shoe manufacturer and art collector whose artworks were taken when his wife and son were forced to flee Germany by the Nazis in the 1930s, the museum announced Tuesday.
