Kandinsky s Painting With Houses (1909) Stedelijk Museum
An Amsterdam court has rejected a claim by the heirs of Emanuel Lewenstein, a Jewish sewing-machine trader, for a 1909 painting by Wassily Kandinsky in the Stedelijk Museum, upholding a widely contested recommendation issued by the Dutch Restitutions Committee.
Kandinsky’s
Painting With Houses was sold in October 1940, possibly by Lewenstein’s son Robert or his wife. Robert Lewenstein emigrated to France in 1939 and then fled to the US in 1940 to escape the Nazis. But although the painting was sold after the occupation of the Netherlands by German troops, the Restitutions Committee determined that it could not definitively be classified as a sale resulting from Nazi persecution.
