RICHMOND â The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has acquired a painting by German expressionist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, which was presumed lost or stolen by the Nazis and was recently returned to the original owners.
The oil painting, completed in 1916, is titled âTaunus Roadâ or âAutostrasse im Taunusâ in German.
Last year, a private collector in Germany was preparing to sell the painting at auction. But an attorney hired by some longtime VMFA benefactors, who has been on the hunt for the familyâs lost art, was able to halt the sale and return the painting to the family.
