In 2018, it was ruled by an appeals court in the United States that the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California owns the legal rights to two Adam and Eve paintings stolen by the Nazis during the great war. The court determined the painting was legally sold to the Nazis, who then sold them to an American.
The family claiming ownership in the lawsuit says the sale of the painting to the Nazis was forced. The lawsuit sat in litigation for 11 years before being settled. The museum released this statement after the ruling, “Today’s decision should finally put this matter to rest.”
