Gurlitt Sale

Remember Cornelius Gurlitt, the recluse Nazi hoarder who held a treasure trove of looted paintings? Sotheby’s in London has announced that the first of these paintings will go under the hammer on 24 June in its Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale. Max Liebermann's Two Riders on a Beach (1901) is estimated at £350,000 to £550,000. The heir, who lives in New York, is 90 years old and blind (CLICK).
