Looted art: Past caches
BERLIN - A Gustav Klimt painting valued at $44 million was returned to the Canadian descendant of previous owner Amalie Redlich in April 2011 by Salzburg's Museum of Modern Arts. The 1915 painting Litzlberg on the Attersee was seized by the Nazi Gestapo after Redlich was deported in 1941 before being killed.
• In April 2011, the Dresden Gallery returned a painting of painter Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein's finest early works. Portrait of a Young Woman with a Drawing Instrument was seized from the three Rosauer sisters by the Nazis in Austria in 1938. The painting hung in the gallery for more than 70 years before a claim was made for it to be returned to the heirs of the sisters by the Commission for Looted Art in Europe
