Explore the fascinating journey of one of VMFA’s recent acquisitions. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s painting Sand Hills at Grünau was recently returned to the Fischer family heirs after they were able to prove that it was confiscated by the Nazis from the collection of Max Fischer. Listen to Dr. Sarah Eckhardt, VMFA Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, in conversation with Erin Mahone, Director of Cultural Arts and Jewish Education at Weinstein JCC, as they discuss the larger context for this example of art restitution and its resonance for the Jewish community in Richmond.
