The Struggle for Justice: Post-WWII Restitution of Richard Morawetz' Art Collection
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
This paper examines the post-WWII restitution efforts for the significant art collection of Richard Morawetz, which was deposited in the National Gallery Prague in 1939. Following the family's escape from Czechoslovakia to avoid Nazi persecution, Richard Morawetz engaged in a legal battle after the war to reclaim his art collection. Although his ownership was legally recognised, the artworks remained in the gallery's vaults and were officially confiscated by the state in the 1960s. This research paper focuses on the immediate post-war restitution efforts, detailing the court proceedings and illustrating how state institutions misused laws, specifically Restitution Act No. 128/1946 Coll. and Standing Committee Measure No. 255/1938 Coll., along with alleged tax arrears, in order to retain control over the art pieces. The paper is part of the Charles University SVV No. 260 621 and contributes to a dissertation project on looted art restitution in the Czech Republic.
