"Curt Goldschmidt's fate is shared with many Jewish collectors and patrons. With this restitution, we honour Jewish collectors and remember victims of Nazi persecution."
"The Ury painting was among his possessions offered at the 1935 auction, though it is not clear whether it sold. It surfaced at auction again at Lempertz in Cologne in 1940, marked with a star to signify it coming 'from a non-Aryan collection'."
The Bavarian State Paintings Collections announced the restitution of Lesser Ury's 1883 painting, Interior with Children, to Curt Goldschmidt's heirs. Goldschmidt, a Jewish banker, lost his home and business in Berlin due to Nazi persecution. He fled to Paris in 1937 and died there in 1947. The painting was part of his possessions auctioned in 1935, though its sale status is unclear. Goldschmidt's descendants now reside in France, the UK, and the US. The restitution honors Jewish collectors and acknowledges victims of Nazi persecution.
