      Except Austria gave back the Klimts inherited by the living descendants of Adele Bloch-Bauer, “The Woman in Gold”, after an American lawyer, grandson of the Austrian composer Schoenberg who went into exile abroad before the Anschluss, challenged Austria in the US Supreme Court. The 2017 film starred Ryan Reynolds as lawyer Schoenberg & Helen Mirren as Maria Altman, a Holocaust survivor.

    Wow!! Over 1400 masterpieces, and from some of the greatest artists known!! Just wow... this documentary left me shaking from the shock of the size of works recovered, and amazed and dazzled by cold and raw revelation that someone could hoard and hide without panic, so valuable and immensely rare an art collection of this historic importance for such a long period of time without discovery. Names like Vermeer, Picasso, Matisse, Manet, Cezanne, Monet, van Gogh, Renoir, Klimmt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Kahlo... these names worth their value in gold, if not priceless are some of which were found in this collection and stacked together is simply mindboggling! The persons participating in this investigation in whichever caliber are some of the luckiest on earth and I bet they acknowledge it to the born that they are effing lucky to be in the thick of it.

    • @pop5678eye

      The fact he did not have insurance may actually be explicable considering Germany has nationalized health care and he really wanted to keep his name off of as many traceable official records as possible. That's just one hypothesis. I've never lived in Germany so I don't know the details of their system.

Framed alright Unless he is a vampire because he isnt sitting in the chair in the mirror behind him and the mirror has a shelf stand with a small picture frame in it.

      @majorbruster5916 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Looking closely, you can see that the 'mirror' is actually a glass panel, popular in houses at that time, and the view reveals a door of a different design (the 'door' in the room is, in fact, a panel. The actual door is of the glazed type to the right.) The 'reflection' gives a view into the adjacent room with a similar layout, including a similar large picture frame, the back of the chair is a different shape and there is a solid low panel, probably the back of a piece of furniture, clearly inside of this room which does not have an opposite image in the room with the artist. Why would Peckstein NOT have one of his best works hung up in his house, anyway?
      I think that before jumping to conspiracy theories, one should do some proper detective work. But this is just a small part of what is certainly an interesting, but factually misleading, documentary.
