Abstract

In Vineberg v. Bissonnette, trustees of art dealer Max Stern’s estate sought to recover a painting the Nazis had forced Stern to sell along with the rest of the inventory of his Düsseldorf gallery in 1937. This chapter examines the adjudication of the case, which resulted in an order returning the painting to the estate, marking what to date is the only final judgment on the merits of a Nazi-era art restitution claim.

Nächstes Kapitel Conclusion

On the Stern family members and their activities in the art world, see Moreault (2004), Roussow (2006), and Schmidt (2005). See also the information collected at the website of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project at Concordia University.

On the office’s work, see generally Dugot (2001).

The answer also asserted that because Stern had recovered compensation in the German courts, the present suit was barred by the doctrines of res judicata and collateral estoppel. Bissonnette abandoned this position when the estate sought summary judgment.

The court also rejected Bissonnette’s contention that the district court had abused its discretion in refusing to extend the calendar for pretrial discovery after she replaced her lawyer.

The Stern estate urged application of Rhode Island law, and Bissonnette raised no objection. The court accordingly ruled that it “need not engage in an extensive choice of law analysis and will apply Rhode Island law.” Vineberg, 529 F. Supp.2d at 305.
