Alain Dreyfus, an art dealer in Switzerland who bought the painting, Alfred Sisley’s “First Day of Spring in Moret,” at a 2008 auction in New York City, said that Christie’s did not sufficiently examine the work’s history before putting it up for sale.“The provenance is very dubious,” he said by phone from France. “They didn’t do enough work.”Mr. Dreyfus, who paid $338,500 for the painting, has asked the auction house to reimburse him that amount, plus an annual interest rate of 8 percent. He has said that he is willing to return “First Day of Spring ” to the heirs of Alfred Lindon, the collector from whom it was seized. (English)
Christie's hid Nazi past of painting (British English)

Paintings stolen by the Nazis from Jewish families are one of the most sensitive areas of the art market and Christie's has claimed in the past to be "a force for good by helping to restore items to the rightful owners". However, internal documents and emails between Christie's employees show that it took the opposite approach in the case of Merry Company With A Woman Playing A Lute by the Dutch master Jacob Duck. Christie's researchers discovered that the painting had been stolen by the Nazis in 1937 from Ulla and Moritz Rosenthal, a Jewish couple who later died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. But the company made no attempt to contact the descendants of the Rosenthals. (English)
