German foundation seeks ruling on Jewish art claim

In this picture taken Dec. 2, 2014 a woman walks through the state-run Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen near the painting of Spanish artist Juan Gris "Violin and Ink Pot" in Duesseldorf, Germany. Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen said Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2014, that its research doesn’t support claims by the heirs of Jewish collector Alfred Flechtheim that the picture belonged to him in 1934. Nevertheless, the foundation says it is seeking a verdict from the Limbach Commission to determine the rightful owner of Gris’ painting, which it bought in 1964. (AP Photo/dpa, Rolf Vennenbernd) BERLIN (AP) — A German foundation has asked an expert panel to rule whether its painting by Spanish artist Juan Gris was looted by the Nazis.
