The Defendant has strong legal representation, which is a good thing no matter what you think of the underlying charges. Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

However, sometimes luck has other plans.   In her latest #ArtLaw blog, Leila Amineddoleh examines the remarkable journey of Portrait of a Lady, a Nazi-looted painting discovered in an Argentine real estate listing and what the artwork’s provenance, possession, and restitution reveal about legal and ethical complexities surrounding stolen art.   Read Leila’s blog here. https://lnkd.in/equzVXrr
