man james palmer. even as a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box it was here and they paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr austin or for his stolen paint. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been
4:41 pm
despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had already been sold by they've authorities. for the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. particularly because its description is so vague. the document only indicated that it was a painting signed by do jani portrait of a man. the detective had no idea what the painting looked like. he had to find
4:42 pm
a photo of it at all costs. by consulting papers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. it states that staten or had sent the model jani to the venice biennale of one nine hundred thirty. i travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be anally archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. in a photograph. james palmer was delighted he'd found it. this photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to. ten portraits of women and two of men. the one on the right was already identified and well known. the painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. so now you've got reference
4:43 pm
to mr stener owning the painting you've got reference to portrait of a man. and you have a photograph that's the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. but where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the auction rooms archives and museums. and after a few weeks ago. he found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue an auction held at christie's in one thousand nine hundred six. the painting was intitled seated man with a cane. but who owned it. it was acquired by a shell company based in panama international arts center whose registration
4:44 pm
document is seen here. its rightful owner is a name. and yet palmer refused to give up and finally discovered another lead to finding the true owners. over the years the work appeared in a number of catalogs. and every time alongside the name of one of the most prestigious galleries in the world the helina mod gallery in new york run by the daughter of the family patriarch we ran into at art basel. james palmer decided to write tour. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.
4:45 pm

future uncool videos during the world cup and someone with the broccoli string app . going down more on string i don't really don't t.v. . well the lawyers for our client contacted. the hellyeah mag gallery and helping them out of new york. and they were ignored. which is not right it's not proper so i think after about a month or so they wrote him again and again they were ignored and eventually there was a response and the response was essentially your suing the wrong people you should be suing the international art center and we have nothing to do with that. james palmer was not taken in by her response. he filed a lawsuit against the hell enough maad gallery in new york. but once again the
4:47 pm
lawyers denied the family were the owners of the painting. here is their statement to the court in new york it's international. arts center and nobody else not the helen gallery nor david now model that bought the painting at an auction held at christie's. thing stopped dead there until two thousand and fifteen and the leaking of the panama papers extraordinary. a document published by the journalists revealed that behind the panamanian company international art center was the renowned art dealer david. so he was a shareholder of the company that owns the painting despite his constant denials. the detective had scored a point. and now he just had to find out where
4:48 pm
he's seated man was in storage he had a bright idea maybe it was in the geneva freeport where the number of family kept the major part of its collection. was judiciary issued a search warrant for the storms in april two thousand and sixteen and discovered the holy grail the much sought after painting. it's hard to say if it was hidden or not but it was kept very discreetly in the freeport where there are no mad family are estimated to have a vote three to four billion dollars worth of art or about four and a half thousand works of art in their little room in a freeport. painting claimed to have been looted was well and truly in the storeroom in the freeport a revelation that caused an uproar. the heirs of the antique dealer stettner have now filed a claim for the restitution of the painting we contacted the no months after
4:49 pm
several attempts they finally agreed to open up their store room at the geneva freeport and to show us the painting in an exhibition rule. we would never meet the art dealers themselves but they did a coup. orders an exclusive viewing of the painting a very solemn moment. the work was handled with great precaution it is estimated at about twenty million dollars today. the families with smaller would tell us their version of the story. is about a month. i laugh i mean i'm at the. direct. international center. on the economy going to action there for life i mean
4:50 pm
a mad. game. to clear his clients even further blow or even raises doubts that the painting ever belonged to the jewish antiques dealer staton or. as our commission states. i don't think it was a big community and it was a bit. of unease. for lee is extra question on the. what all of. the. rest and you said the most i mean by. yes. we had only a few minutes to film the painting. but as the handlers turned the work around we happened to film something on the back that we only noticed later this label from
4:51 pm
the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale. the owner's name had been crudely erased. and it looks like that of staten or. a clue to which the detective never had access and which could be crucial for the next stage of his investigation. the canadian detective is convinced the geneva freeport could be housing other works of dubious origin. well i think there's a high probability that many other paintings in the freeport were probably looted and probably rest there today that have not seen the light of day for many decades and i believe they're there and i think that it would be very interesting
4:52 pm
if the public were made aware at least the art industry were made aware of what those paintings are. so that you know if the prosecutor's office is what's on it for example were to provide us with information on all those paintings we could pretty quickly tell them which ones were store pretty quickly. for the swiss art dealers lawyer there's no point in dreaming no one will know for years what's really stored in the freeport. little's i'm not. a. french customs investigator is of the same opinion even if he's on the other side of the fence. people following of them also region if. you combine all of that i don't feel says we should. be softer you the hall is so i
