12:50 pm
climb trees and museums attention to it. this con, plus the end of the object. it can happen that in these large depos objects, it for a very long time before they are brought in for a project. that's the way it works in big museums. we all wish we could simply process it ourselves, but that's and illusions. and so as it would take too much time, it's a lifelong task in self. a little secret if you see, i don't find that it's an excuse. you want to slip over the daughter of the federal republic of germany committed to caring out this research and the washington declaration. and so it's the responsibility of the state, including the cultural senator and hamburg, was in to ensure that they are adequate resources. also providence research option . first of all, they committed to this and must honor this commitment to the stone. these are put face to move. i noticed the boat ahead was tracked down thanks to the joint if it's

my casualty. last auction christy's the auction house also tried to sell it in vain . it was delivered to it by a gallery in keel. eventually it was sold by austria to france, but nobody will say who has it now when hunting and there's, there's the impression that people are stonewalling. this information is not being laid out in the table. there is no transparency, whereas they only sharing this information after 4 or 56 inquiries, one, not the right away slash the know the wasn't the only work in the cost family's collection. it also includes the author of valuable paintings such as a yep, lensky, a clay, a role. today, they a certain that all of these artworks will do to be honest estrada from the historical research institute. fax and files is trying to reconstruct the cruise from umus
12:53 pm
paintings from the cups the states that the keel gallery claims that it no longer has any documents that could shed much on the matcher. as mine off how, from my experience with our dealer archives, i can't imagine that they threw away all their documents in 1980 and they don't have them anymore as an every, our dealer knows that documentation is the be all and end all of their business order so you always know what you had the who you got it from and who you sold it to month by colstat. do to. yeah. but i just make good tired findings or why aren't they telling the truth and you're going to go through to the end. and dustless talked into why are they trying to mislead us and to the time they shouldn't voice the suggest that the people involved knew that there was something wrong with how the painting had to be in acquire testing. don't touch actually show us. but that the piece had been stolen, it's or integrate to this day, most of the positions belong to the expelled jewish community. i'm missing minions
