Sleuthing for Looted Paintings
August 30 (Washington Times) For the past decade, Nancy Yeide has acted as the art world’s version of intrepid detective Nancy Drew in hunting the histories of Nazi-looted artworks.
Ms. Yeide, who heads the curatorial records department at the National Gallery of Art, began her sleuthing in the museum’s collection before searching for the thousands of paintings collected by Adolf Hitler’s henchman, Hermann Goering.
“In learning about the archival resources that document Holocaust-era looting and restitution, it became really evident what had not been done in the field,” says the New Jersey-born scholar. “There had not been a single, complete inventory of Goering’s collection.”
