Met Museum Can Keep Picasso’s ‘The Actor’, Rules U.S. Court Of Appeals

“First brought against the Met in 2016, the suit alleged that Picasso’s The Actor (1904-05) was subject to restitution laws and should therefore be returned to the family of its original owners, Paul and Alice Leffmann, both of whom fled Germany during the Nazi party’s rise to power in the mid-1930s. The Leffmanns’ great-grandniece, Laurel Zuckerman, had alleged that her relatives were made to sell the work ‘under duress.'” – ARTnews
