Los Angeles lawsuits seek return of Auschwitz watercolours and 'Adam and Eve' diptych

Two lawsuits in Los Angeles seek restitution — the legal return of a work to former owners or heirs — of Nazi-looted art from museums, reported ARTnews and the Los Angeles Times on 16 September. One concerns watercolours made in Auschwitz. The other concerns an 'Adam and Eve' diptych. Claimants cite new US federal and California laws.
