A painting by French artist Paul C\u00e9zanne sold at auction on Thursday for $39 million by Museum Langmatt in Baden, Switzerland, after the museum reached a restitution settlement with the heirs of a Jewish art collector and dealer who was forced to sell the artwork in Nazi Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Fruits et pot de gingembre<\/em> (Fruits and Jar of Ginger), <\/em>from around 1890-93, was sold at a Christie\u2019s auction that took place in New York to an anonymous telephone bidder, The Wall Street Journal<\/em> reported. The still life painting, one of three by C\u00e9zanne included in the auction, was previously owned by Jacob Goldschmidt, who ran a gallery in Frankfurt, Germany, before Nazis seized power of the country in 1933.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goldschmidt jointly acquired the C\u00e9zanne painting in 1929 with L\u2019Art Moderne, a Swiss affiliate of the Paris-based Bernheim-Jeune gallery, according to The Art Newspaper<\/em>. After facing Nazi persecution in Germany, Goldschmidt sold Fruits et pot de gingembre<\/em> under duress to Sidney Brown by way of L\u2019Art Moderne. Goldschmidt was also forced to give up his profession as an art dealer in 1934. He emigrated two years later to the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

Museum Langmatt is home to the Impressionist art collection of Sidney and Jenny Brown, whose family electrical engineering company used thousands of forced workers, such as Nazi concentration camp prisoners, during its operations in Nazi Germany, the The Art Newspaper <\/em>reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s said in a statement last month that details about the painting\u2019s provenance surfaced only recently during \u201crigorous pre-sale restitution research\u201d done by specialists at the auction house, which then helped facilitate the restitution settlement between Goldschmidt\u2019s heirs and Museum Langmatt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christie\u2019s, the Foundation Langmatt, and Goldschmidt\u2019s heirs have \u201cworked cooperatively together to find an amicable resolution,\u201d the auction house added, noting that the settlement agreement \u201cfully resolves and settles any dispute over the ownership of the work, and [the] clear title will pass to the successful bidder at auction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Ewald Volhard, a partner in the German law firm representing Goldschmidt\u2019s heirs, said the agreement is \u201ca fair and just solution.\u201d The family \u201chave expressed their gratitude for the solution reached,\u201d Volhard added. \u201cThey are pleased that their grandfather is also remembered on this occasion. Jacob Goldschmidt was one of the very great art dealers of the early 20th century.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
