Germany - Art hoarder joins fight

A German recluse at the center of a high-profile case involving artworks suspected to be Nazi loot has gone on the offensive, launching a legal bid for the return of the masterpieces.

Cornelius Gurlitt’s team has also launched a website, www.gurlitt.info, to tell his side of the story about the long-lost works by the likes of Picasso, Matisse and Chagall.

The spectacular “Gurlitt find” of around 1,400 long-lost works in a Munich flat has placed pressure on Germany to speed up the return of art the Hitler regime stole from Jewish collectors or bought for a pittance under duress. Gurlitt is the 81-year-old son of a Nazi-era art dealer.
