“When the German art dealer received the Emden 1025 Pirna, he created a false provenance to make the work marketable and removed identifying labels from the back of the painting and frame that would have shown Emden’s prior ownership and the Führermuseum’s subsequent possession,” the lawsuit says. “In 1952, the dealer sold the Emden 1025 Pirna under the false provenance to a prominent U.S. collector.” (English)
