Hello Family Law Section members,
I am contacting you about an upcoming "can't miss" CLE seminar that is captivating on multiple levels. This
Thursday, Sept. 26, NJICLE in cooperation with the NJSBA Entertainment Arts and Sports Law Section will present
Raiders of the Lost Art (The 6th Annual Art Law Symposium): The Hunt for Nazi Looted Art in America, Abraham Lincoln, and Adolf Hitler.
The seminar will be held from
3 to 6 p.m. at the
New Jersey Law Center, immediately preceding the Opening Reception of the 2019 New Jersey State Bar Foundation Juried Art Show. We hope you can join us at the Art Show reception as well.
In conjunction with the opening of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation's 2019 Art Show, NJICLE is proud to present the Sixth Annual Art Law Symposium. For 2019, this symposium features a captivating, entertaining, and most importantly, thought-provoking look at some of the real-life issues (and behind the scenes heroes) working with art that was stolen by the Nazis during their reign of terror.
As an attendee, you'll hear from renowned art law expert Raymond J. Dowd, Esq., as he recounts the riveting story of how his firm seized two stolen Schieles after they were spotted at the Salon+Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory in November 2015, leading to international headlines upon their restitution to their clients (they are now at Christie's with an appellate court blocking their sale). You'll also learn the history behind the uniquely American proposal of returning the stolen property to Holocaust victims, which is based directly on ideals first presented by President Lincoln in his April, 1863 Lieber Code Executive Order to take the profit out of war, and later in the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions and the Nuremberg Trials.
Mr. Dowd will also share how the combination of confiscatory US tax laws, a fair market value deduction for artworks donated to museums, and a general unwillingness of museums to look gift horses in the mouth led to the current situation of US museums having to deal with large inventories of works that left Europe after 1933 under questionable circumstances, and were created prior to 1946. This confluence of circumstances has led to what some have referred to as one of history's greatest art robberies being concealed by the actions of history's most despicable murderer, Adolf Hitler.
Don't miss what promises to be the art law event of the year – make your plans to attend this captivating CLE program and the New Jersey State Bar Foundation's 2019 Art Show today.FACULTY
