Looted Art in US

Polish officials say that legal documents compiled in a new book bolster their ownership claim of drawings by Renaissance master Albrecht Durer that were looted by the Nazis during World War II. The 27 drawings were stolen from the Ossolinski Institute in present-day Lviv, Ukraine, which was once part of Poland, and sold on the international art market after the war ended. They are now owned by major museums and collections in the United States and Europe, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.
