Kann’s heirs started tracking down other works from his collection in the 1990s, and first made a claim to the Picasso painting at RISD in 2010. The university then commissioned the Nazi-era provenance expert Laurie Stein to investigate the work’s history and “follow the facts wherever they led”. Based on Stein’s report, the museum rejected the claim in 2012.The heirs reasserted their case through the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York in 2015, after the Paris-based Kann Association requested its involvement. RISD then commissioned Stein and additional experts in the US and France to research any newly available information, the university says. Stein’s final findings were that that the Picasso, while once owned by Kann, was not looted from his collection. (English)
