Slide Show: The Nazi-Looted Art Trove:
“Oh boy, oh boy. A Nazi or, anyway, Nazi-era booty of some fifteen hundred modern art works, many by great names, turns up in the Munich apartment of one Cornelius Gurlitt (a ‘loner,’ it’s said, unsurprisingly), who got it from his mother; and how she amassed it and how it stayed secret for sixty-eight years remains to be told.”
