Regarding the Hitler Paintings that were sold in Lostwithiel Cornwall yesterday, is there any way of finding out the identities of the people who brought the paintings, and more importantly, to find out where exactly in Belgium they came from? |
|
There is no answer at this time. |

This is a very relevant article: Paintings Said to Be Done by Hitler Sold http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=2493454 ...be sure to read the fine print under the image of one of the paintings. |

Yes, all the sites about the auction say that the seller wanted to remain anonymous, an older lady in Belgium who found the suitcase with the paintings in her attic. It is stated that the paper was analysed to have dated from the appropriate period, but one site explains that this was done in 1986 and that the persons involved have passed away, so that their work cannot be traced. This may be true, but it would seem that the analysis could easily be duplicated, which to me suggests a reluctance to do so. |

Its very easy to get hold of old art paper but old paints are much more difficult |

The ABC News article includes the following quote: "It's in very bad taste," said Rhonda Barad with the Los Angeles-based Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish advocacy group. "Most auction houses have steered clear of such sales because it offends a lot of people still alive today." I just have to wonder, does it offend anyone not alive today? |
