Reclaimed: Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker

Goudstikker's Black Book - an online feature for the exhibition Reclaimed: Paintings from the Collection of Jacques Goudstikker at the Jewish Museum. "...Reclaimed reveals the remarkable legacy of Jacques Goudstikker, a preeminent Jewish art dealer in Amsterdam whose vast collection of masterpieces was almost lost forever to the Nazi practice of looting cultural properties. Between the two World Wars, Goudstikker's impressive and historically important collection rose to international acclaim. This exhibition presents rarely-seen Old Master paintings-including Dutch Old Master works and Italian and Northern Renaissance paintings-recently restituted to Goudstikker's family."
