Photo: Christie’s ImagesA Paul Cézanne still life sold for $39 million on Thursday as part of a fundraising effort by a beleaguered Swiss museum. The 1890-93 scene, “Fruits and Jar of Ginger,” was sold by Museum Langmatt in the Swiss community of Baden as part of a broader campaign to renovate its 1900-01 art nouveau villa and establish an endowment. Before the auction could happen, the museum reached a restitution settlement with the heirs of a Jewish collector who previously sold the Cézanne under duress.

☆ The rare African mask at the center of a fierce multimillion-dollar legal battle

The Fourniers sold their mask in September of 2021 to a second-hand dealer for 150 euros, court documents show. The mask is an extremely rare artifact of great spiritual value to the Gabonese people, Betoe Bi Evie told CNN. It was through this information that the dealer was able to deduce the origins of the mask, Mansat Jaffré, the lawyer, told CNN. “We think he (the dealer) already had an idea at the back of his head, and that he knew the mask was rare,” Mansat Jaffré told CNN. However, as the Ngil mask at the center of the ongoing trial wasn’t held in a public collection, Gabon cannot demand its restitution from France.

☆ Restituted Kandinsky Sells for $45 Million, Setting Record
  + stars: | 2023-03-01 | by ( Kelly Crow | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The painting was recently restituted to the heirs of a German-Jewish family who sold their art collection under Nazi persecution. Sotheby’s London sold a brightly colored Wassily Kandinsky, “Murnau with Church II,” for $45 million on Wednesday, resetting the artist’s auction record and bolstering collector confidence in blue-chip art values. The 1910 landscape was recently restituted to the 13 heirs of a German-Jewish businessman persecuted by the Nazis, Siegbert Stern, and his art-collecting wife, Johanna Margarete Stern-Lippmann. Mr. Stern died in Berlin in 1935, and Ms. Stern-Lippmann was later forced to sell their art-filled villa before being killed at Auschwitz in 1944.
