Judge: Detroit Museum Can Keep Van Gogh

A judge has ruled that the Detroit Institute of Art can keep a Van Gogh painting claimed by the heirs of a German collector in the 1940s. “The case landed in court in January 2006 after the DIA failed to resolve a long-simmering dispute with the heirs. A parallel dispute between the heirs and the Toledo Museum of Art over a Gauguin painting was similarly dismissed by an Ohio judge in December.”
