US EditionNazi-Looted Ghislandi Portrait Spotted in Argentine Real Estate Listing
The painting, looted from Jacques Goudstikker's collection during Nazi occupation, was found in a home linked to Nazi official Friedrich Kadgien, underscoring ongoing restitution efforts.
- Journalists from the Dutch publication Algemeen Dagblad identified the Nazi-looted artwork 'Portrait of a Lady' by Giuseppe Ghislandi in a photograph featured in a 2025 Argentinian real estate advertisement.
- The painting was taken over 80 years ago during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands from the collection of Jacques Goudstikker, a prominent Jewish art dealer, and subsequently came into the possession of SS officer Friedrich Kadgien, who escaped to Argentina following World War II.
- The discovered painting hangs above a sofa in a house in Mar del Plata, put up for sale by one of Kadgien's daughters, while Argentine police and Interpol have launched a raid and search to recover it.
- Experts from the Dutch Cultural Heritage Agency, including Annelies Kool and Perry Schrier, verified the painting's genuineness and noted that recovering such pieces is uncommon, while descendant Marei von Saher emphasized her family's commitment to restoring all artworks taken from the Goudstikker collection.
- The ongoing investigation and international cooperation highlight the challenges of Nazi-looted art restitution decades after the war and suggest renewed hope for returning missing cultural property to rightful heirs.
