Sotheby's Sued over Picasso (English)
1 reference
Janis Dzedins asked Sotheby's to sell his Picasso, ``Nature Morte au Verre,'' at an Impressionist and Modern Art sale in London in February, according to documents filed at the High Court in London by Dzedin's lawyers on June 5. Sotheby's refused to put the painting on sale after it determined that it had belonged to Alphonse Kann, a Jewish art dealer based in Paris whose collection of more than 2,200 artworks was seized by the Nazis during World War II, the auction house said in an e-mailed statement.
