Nazi-looted art in the Georg Kolbe Museum: The attempted scandal

The Georg Kolbe Museum and its director Kathleen Reinhardt are under massive pressure. Do they have to return one of their most famous works of art?
The “Dancers’ Fountain” in the garden of the Georg Kolbe Museum Schöning/imago
The Westend district is characterized by its tranquil surroundings, villas, and allotment gardens. One of Berlin's most beautiful exhibition spaces is also located here: the Georg Kolbe Museum , formerly the studio of the famous sculptor. In the garden stands a sculpture by Georg Kolbe (1877–1947), which had been quiet for years. Too quiet. Now things are getting very loud around this "Dancers' Fountain" from 1922.
