It took 26 years, but the legal battle over the ownership of Paul Klee’s Swamp Legend (1919), seized by Nazis as “degenerate” art in the 1930s, has reached a settlement. The city of Munich, where the work is on view at the Lenbachhaus museum, will keep the painting, but the heirs of the original owner will be reimbursed for the value of the masterpiece, estimated between €2–4 million ($2.33–4.65 million).“We are are satisfied that we now found an agreement, but the whole case and the need to start a litigation was frustrating,” lawyer Gunnar Schnabel, who represents the heirs of art historian Sophie Lissitzky-Küppers, told artnet News. “One of the grandchildren died two years ago. During the whole time, our clients are dying. Twenty-six years is too long!” (English)
