A Franz Marc painting that has been the subject of a years-long restitution case will be returned to the heirs of its former owner, the Jewish businessman and banker Kurt Grawi, who sold the work during World War II. The German city of Düsseldorf will restitute Marc’s 1913 painting Die Füchse (Foxes) to Grawi’s heirs, according to a report by the German publication Der Spiegel. The city’s art collection has held the painting since 1962. (English)

Kurt Grawi bought the painting in 1928. His businesses and properties were seized by the Nazi Party in 1935, and in 1938, he was imprisoned at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in Germany for several weeks. He wrote in a 1939 letter that he would use the funds from the sale of the work to flee Germany, via Belgium, for Chile.Grawi was able to smuggle the painting out of Germany to Paris. It was ultimately purchased for an unknown price in New York in 1940 by German-American film director Willam Dieterle. In 1961, it was acquired by Helmut Horten, the owner of a chain of German department stores; the following year, Horten donated the piece to the Düsseldorf City Art Collection. (English)
