A new state law will require museums in New York to disclose any artwork in their collections that was stolen in Europe by Nazis.
The legislation, signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul last week, requires New York museums to display signs alongside works of art made before 1945 that are known to have been stolen or sold under Nazi duress. The law is aimed at honoring survivors of the Holocaust.“As New Yorkers, we are united in our solemn commitment to Holocaust survivors: We will never forget,” Hochul said in a statement.
The Nazi regime is believed to have stolen at least 600,000 paintings, sculptures, and other artworks during World War II. As many as 110,000 works of art are still missing from the Nazi era. Many pieces are believed to be in museums and private collections across the United States that don't acknowledge their origin.
In 2019, a court ruled that the Metropolitan Museum of Art could keep a 1905 painting by Pablo Picasso that was sold by its Jewish owner as he and his family fled Nazi Germany in 1938.
