Nazi-Looted Art Spotted in Argentina Estate Ad After 80 Years
A painting stolen by the Nazis from a Jewish art dealer during World War II has been located in an Argentinian home advertised by an estate agent. The artwork, “Portrait of a Lady” by Giuseppe Ghislandi, was looted from art dealer Jacques Goudstikker and was traced to the home of a former Nazi official. This official, an SS officer and aide to Hermann Göring, fled to South America after the war, taking the painting with him. Goudstikker’s estate is now working to reclaim the painting after it was spotted in the real estate listing.
