The Grünbaum family claims that the Egon Schiele watercolor Tote Stadt III (1911) is a Nazi-looted artwork that should be restituted to them. The Leopold Museum, which holds the piece in its collection, has vehemently defended against the accusations. It maintains that a provenance investigation conducted jointly with the Austrian Culture Ministry in 2010 proved that the painting was sold after the end of World War II by Mathilde Lukacs, Grünbaum’s sister in law, to the Swiss art dealer Eberhard W. Kornfeld.Provenance researcher Dr. Sonja Niederacher subsequently concluded that there was no case for restitution. (English)
