Deutsch fled Frankfurt after Nazi persecution cost him his business and threatened his life. He packed up his family’s household goods and artworks and instructed a German company to ship them to Amsterdam, where he was living in 1939. They never arrived in the Netherlands, where Deutsch died before the end of World War II.After the war, the moving company told Deutsch’s surviving family members that the Deutsch goods were destroyed in bombing raids. The heirs later received some compensation, under West German laws, for their losses, including the 1917 Nolde painting, “Blumengarten (Utenwarf)” (1917), according to Deutsch family lawyer David J. Rowland of New York. He declined to provide any details about the Deutsch heirs.The Nolde surfaced in Stuttgart some 25 years after Deutsch fled Frankfurt. It then “was purchased in good faith by Moderna Museet in 1967 from a well-renowned auction house in Lugano, Switzerland,” the Stockholm museum said in a statement.The Deutsch heirs located the Nolde in Sweden in 2003 and asked that it be returned. This is the first claim for a Nazi-era loss concerning an object in the Moderna Museet since the institution was founded in 1958. “Blumengarten (Utenwarf)” is one of 35 artworks by Nolde, a German Expressionist painter, in the museum’s collection, spokeswoman Lovisa Lönnebo said. The current value of the Nolde is unknown. (English)
