Biccherna Panel – Anonymous Heirs and British Library
https://plone.unige.ch/art-adr/cases-affaires/biccherna-panel-2013-anonymous-heirs-and-british-library
In 2013, the British Library was contacted by the heirs of A.S. Drey, a Munich firm whose assets were sold off by Nazis in 1936. The heirs requested the return of the “Biccherna Panel” and lodged a claim with the UK Spoliation Advisory Panel, which found in favour of the claimants. However, following negotiations, the heirs accepted compensation in lieu of return, allowing the Biccherna Panel to remain in the British Library.No publisherNazi looted art/spoliations naziesNegotiation/négociationDeaccessionFinancial compensation/indemnisationArtwork/oeuvre d’artSettlement agreement/accord transactionnelProcedural issue/limites procéduralesBritish LibraryOwnership/propriétéUnconditional restitution/restitution sans conditionConciliationUnited Kingdom/Royaume-UniSpoliation Advisory Panel (UK)2019/08/12 10:50:00 GMT+1PageBeneventan Missal – Metropolitan Chapter of the Cathedral City of Benevento and British Library
