Description
This action was commenced by Julius H. Scheops, who claims to be an heir of Paul von Mendelssohn-Barthody ("Mendelssohn-Barthody"), for the restitution of Pablo Picassos painting The Absinthe Drinker (Angel de Soto), oil on canvas, 69.5 x 55 cms., signed and dated 1903, and now valued at approximately 60 million dollars. The painting is currently owned by the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation. According to plaintiff, Mendelssohn-Barthody was a wealthy Berlin banker of Jewish decent who sold the painting to Justin K. Thannhouser, a Berlin art dealer, in Nazi Germany in a duress sale as a proximate and intended consequence of Nazi persecution.
