      10 January 2017: German Advisory Commission recommends the Sprengel Museum return a Schmidt-Rotluff painting to the heirs of Max Ruedenberg (English)

      Max Ruedenberg was, like the Sprengels, a collector, businessman and member of the Hanover Kestner Gesellschaft, dedicated to the promotion of contemporary art and artists in Germany. He and his wife were deported to Theresienstadt in 1942 where they perished. The claim by their elderly grandchildren was first submitted in February 2012, but the Museum denied the evidence of its own documents and stated there was no proof of the painting's ownership by Max Ruedenberg.

      The German city of Hanover has returned Tête de Femme (1917) by the Italian modernist painter Amedeo Modigliani to the heirs of Michel Georges-Michel, a French Jewish painter and writer. The work was confiscated by the Nazis in Paris in 1941 and acquired by the city of Hanover in 1949. It was restituted on January 26 on the unanimous recommendation of the city’s cultural committee.
