[ED: Leinen], [PU: Harry N. Abrams, Inc.], Zustand: Buch und original Schutzumschlag einwandfrei. Klappentext: "Based on the acclaimed international Symposium held in 1995, The Spoils ofWar explores the ongoing debate over the vast amounts of art and cultural property displaced äs a result of World War II. Not only paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts but also archaeological artifacts, rare books and manuscripts, musical instruments and scores, religious objects, and memor-abilia of every description were seized by the Nazis, taken by individuals, or removed to the USSR by the Soviet army at the end of the war. Now, more than fifty years later, lost and stolen objects continue to appear on the art market and in private, museum, and state collections, including master-pieces of Impressionist painting, old master drawings from the Franz Koenigs collection, and gold treasures excavated by Schliemann at Troy. Questions of ownership remain unresolved and are battled out in court, legislated, or negotiated in treaties. At the three-day Symposium, organized by The Bard Graduate Center for Studies in the Decorative Arts, New York, distinguished specialists—government representatives, curators, archaeologists, historians and journalists, former military officers, and experts in art law—took part in spirited, candid, and often moving discussions, which are fully documented only in this unprecedented book. Accom-panying the essays are remarkable illustra-tions, including wartime archival photo-graphs that confirm acts of appropriation and destruction, and reproductions of works of art still missing—such äs the panels of the famous Amber Room from the Catherine Palace near St. Petersburg and a prized Raphael portrait. In addition, seventeen key legal texts relating to the protection and return of cultural property have been included in the volume, making The Spoils of War the essential resource on this controversial subject. 123 Illustration*, including 25 plates in füll color" Inhalt: "FOREWORD • 9 Susan Weber Soros ACKNOWLEDGMENTS * 10 INTRODUCTION * 12 Elizabeth S/ mpson PART I: AN OVERVIEW "The Spoils of War" • 34 Jen nette (] reenjield World War II and the Displacement of Art and Cultural Property 39 Ly/z/z //.
