Provenance: Exposing the Spoils of War
GETTY CENTER
Museum Lecture Hall
Simon Goodman discusses his book, The Orpheus Clock: The Search for My Family's Art Treasures Stolen by the Nazis (2015)—a fascinating true story that is at once a family history, a glimpse of Jewish life in Germany before the Holocaust, an exposé of the Nazi looting machine, and a revealing study of the evolving attitudes toward restitution of looted art in the wake of World War II.
