| Marc Chagall Le Père, Oil Painting, 1911 | Heirs of David Cender. Claim of Restitution made to Paris Museum for the Art and History of Judaism. | David Cender survived the war and in 1958, in France, he submitted a request for war loss compensation from the government of West Germany, but was unsuccessful. Sometime between the late 1940s and early 1950s, Chagall himself reacquired the artwork, presumably without knowing its provenance, and in 1988 Le Père was donated by Chagall's heirs to the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris, which then transferred it to the Paris Museum for the Art and History of Judaism. In 2015 Mondex Corporation began researching the painting and in 2020 submitted a restitution claim, which the museum accepted. In order to complete the restitution, though, Mondex continued advocating on behalf of Cender's heirs for the creation of a legal exception to France's standard practice of not deaccessioning artworks in state museums. This exception came to be when the Assemblée Nationale passed a bill pertaining to the restitution of Le Père and fourteen other artworks, on February 21, 2022. |
