Publication of a list of 350 artworks in Britain with questionable provenance during Nazi years, had British museum organization on the defensive Tuesday. “in Britain some museum directors after the war had not been ‘fastidious’ about checking whether paintings they bought or were given might have had a Nazi connection. But the organization believes many of the gaps in history are innocent but cannot yet be explained because papers have been lost, owners have died or dealers and auction houses are unwilling to release documents.” – The Telegraph (UK)
- List “far less sensational” than headlines suggest. – The Telegraph (UK)
- Proving ownership difficult. – The Telegraph (UK)
- “No factual evidence that any of the works had been stolen by the Nazis” – New York Times
