Judge Denies Motion To Dismiss Suit on Egon Schiele Work |
|
|
|
NEW YORK.- U.S. District Judge Michael Mukasey denied motions by Manhattan’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and Austria’s Leopold Museum-Privatstiftung to dismiss the suit pending in Manhattan federal court. This will allow the U.S. government to proceed with a lawsuit that will force an Austrian museum to forfeit an Egon Schiele painting stolen by the Nazis from a Jewish family during World War Two. The case comes from a lawsuit filed in 1999 in a Manhattan federla court by the U.S. government seeking the surrender of the painting ’Portrait of Wally’ by Egon Schiele that was loaned to MoMA by the Leopold Museum. The U.S. government stated that the painting was stolen property under Austrian law and was illegally imported into the United States. A warrant was iisued by a federal magistrate that allowed the government to seize the work from the MoMA and has kept it since.
