Randol Schoenberg, the grandson of the composer Arnold Schoenberg, is an expert in handling cases involving looted art and the recovery of property stolen by the Nazi authorities during the Holocaust. He tells the story here of his most prominent case, “Republic of Austria v. Altmann” which resulted in the successful return of six paintings by Gustav Klimt, including the “Golden Lady,” to their rightful owners. Recorded on 05/06/2015. [6/2015] [Show ID: 29174]

@judytelles3518 9 месяцев назад

I am now seeing that Adele wanted her art to go to the museum and no its not her husbands even though its a loop in the law. So her wishes wasnt fulfilled. She was able and rich enough to pay Klimt for her portrait and would have approached him herself to paint her as he was in her circle, there are no portraits done by Klimt of her husband . After all Klimt was her style of artist and not her husbands art style. Also the fact that she listed them specifically, and that there were 6/7. I am sure she knew they were hers when she listed them and she knew they were not her husband''s and that not being his taste he wouldnt want them, also if she had had the affair with Klimt it would be distasteful for it to remain with him. I think finding the legal loop of ownership was a loop to retain some of the lost wealth. I also saw that Adele may have had an affair with Klimt and she was the only woman he painted twice. Klimt was interested in Japanese and Egyptian art.

@@judytelles3518nope she didn’t have the right and it was stolen by Nazis. They didn’t have the nerve to admit how they obtained it.

@EktaShah82 9 месяцев назад

@@judytelles3518secondly the real Adele died before the Nazis looted and killed Maria’s family. So no I don’t think she’d have wanted it to go to Nazis and Nazi deniers and secondly not all of her stuff was ever recovered including the jewelry she was wearing in the portrait Maybe use critical thinking some Maria would’ve left it in Vienna if they acknowledged real history of how they obtained it and given her her financial due

In another documentary, Maria Altmann herself said in the very beginning she was prepared to let the paintings stay in Austria to be displayed to the public if the Belvedere acknowledges her rightful ownership. Shame they didn't take up the offer, and now the paintings are scattered and some of them privately owned, probably never to be seen again in the public.

@Agi1968 7 лет назад

I love you Randy, you did so much for Maria and for actually all Jews. You sought and found truth for this lovely Lady and your win is a big win for all Jews seeking truth for the horrible acts of WWII. It might be a single win but it is actually a huge one, acknowledging the horrible things Nazis did against Jews. Art theft is only one of those but getting back only one (and maybe a few more) master piece is a huge win. Well done!

@chemokiki 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree. That painting and the extended lawsuits back and forth once again shone a light on the horrors of the time. A time that should NEVER be forgotten. As we know in the current area history has a habit of repeating itself ... most of you know of what I speak.

@danielfyffe5230 2 года назад

When I brought the story to the L.A. Times/ Robert Scheer's attention in 1999, Maria had told me that she intended to live at least as long it would take for the paintings to be returned to her family. That is very different from you saying that she was about to give up at the first hurdle/ prior to your investigation of wether or not the case could be heard in the US/ California. You certainly and brilliantly performed a Herculean task in retrieving the art works. I salute and bow deeply to your accomplishment yet also find it significant to keep the story straight and without embellishments that places Maria's will, fortitude and intentions in question.

@numendomini 4 года назад

unfortunately the film made up a pretty huge amount of things and only followed the timeline correctly. For example it was Hubertus Czernin who started the whole thing by publishing a multi piece about stolen art in Austrian museums and did a huge amount of work for maria altmann (he was the one finding and sending adeles will to the US)

@MrWhangdoodles 3 года назад

I finished the film 3 hours ago. There's a lot of artistic license taken.

I find the painting fascinating, so i clicked on this video, not quite prepared for the whole new room i was ushered into. Wow.! engaging and inspiring presentation from Mr Schoenberg. It is a very brave thing to pursue a gut instinct at the expense of ones budding career. God bless Ms Maria for her perseverance, great service to her aunt's memory and the world of art. Things happened along the way to aid his eventual success.The Austrians- after all the hardship their citizens endured, could have been less aggressive. Their actions rub salt injuries, but I think they realised that too is why they changed tactic. Anyways, m off to watch the movie(s) now....i love when one thing leads me to many others. Thanks @UCTV for a wonderful video, I enjoyed it very much
