looting and WWII - The Art of the Steal: Nazi looting during World War II The Nazis looted over 20% of Western Art during World War II, confiscating art from Jewish families and emptying museums throughout Europe. This lecture will provide an overview of Nazi looting by setting the scene in Nazi Germany, discussing Hitler’s obsession with art and how the Monuments Men recovered art after the war. Several landmark cases will be discussed in detail, including Gustav Klimt’s celebrated Portrait of Adele Bloch Bauer and the stash of over 1200 artworks found in possession of the son of a notorious Nazi dealer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605611092809-CXBV1E9Y8A3B3H2GUROH/picasso-fernandez-de-soto-1903.jpg Nazi looting and WWII - The Inside Stories: the real stories behind the most intriguing cases of Nazi looted art Each artwork tells its own story. This lecture will look at several famous works of art that were looted by the Nazis and discuss their incredible journeys from their pre-wartime owners to their current locations. Examples of artworks that we will examine include Lucas Cranach’s Cupid Complaining to Venus and Pablo Picasso’s Portrait of Angel Fernandez de Soto, which was once owned by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber. We will discuss what makes these works so intriguing and why the thefts still resonate today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605610579574-MB2DRFTKNEHLNL5LCRED/leiberman-riders-on-a-beach-1901.jpg Nazi looting and WWII - Making a Killing: Nazi Looted Art and the Art Market The art market is big business. There is an intense interest in Nazi Looted Art from the art market for two reasons: reputable dealers and auction houses don't want to sell objects with bad titles and many museum quality objects that weren't available are now surfacing on the market thanks to their return to their prewar owners. This lecture will examine how the art market deals with art that was looted by the Nazis and look at some of the famous looted artworks that have been sold recently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605611235446-Q95HCD1W7B7DBH7C29RQ/443px-Kirchner_Berlin_Street_Scene_1913.jpg Nazi looting and WWII - The Assault on Modern Art in Nazi Germany The Nazis used propaganda to show that particular artists contributed to the decline of German culture and staged an exhibition of what they dubbed ‘Degenerate Art’. Some of the artists featured at this exhibit included modern masters such as Emil Nolde, Oskar Kokoshka and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. This lecture will examine the art world in Nazi Germany and the motivations behind the National Socialist movement to rid Germany of Modern Art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605611335846-IHSIGWLL09K9HZI6S7XQ/Amedeo_Modigliani_L%25E2%2580%2599Homme_assis_1918.jpg Nazi looting and WWII - Art in Europe between the Wars The era from 1918– 1939 was a time of contradictions in art. This age birth to the modern thinkers in the Weimar period in Germany, but in France, many contemporary artists shunned modernism and called for a ‘Return to Oder’. This lecture will examine how the time between the First and Second World Wars affected artists in different parts of Europe and what this meant moving forward. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605611679595-SVCKWXOPDFT8FR68GAAX/Camille_Pissarro_-_Rue_Saint-Honore%25CC%2581%252C_dans_l%2527apre%25CC%2580s-midi._Effet_de_pluie.jpg Nazi looting and WWII - Past Imperfect: Why World War II art looting is still an issue today This lecture will examine the effects on Nazi looting during World War II. We will look at this from the perspective of museums, art exhibits, the art market and the families who had their treasures taken from them. This will include in-depth examination of landmark restitution cases. https://www.shaunaisaac.com/art-theft-lectures daily 0.75 2020-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605613218737-KS9DO9M7FVKWP1J3HV8O/leonardo-monalisa.jpg Art Theft and Forgeries - How to Steal a Million We have all heard about audacious art heists that are more like blockbuster movies than run-of-the-mill burglaries. This lecture will be a rollicking adventure, where we look at famous art thefts, discuss what motivates art thieves and examine what aspects the thefts have in common. We will also look at where the burglars made mistakes, which enabled investigators to swoop in and recover stolen masterpieces. In many cases, the police sting operations were just as daring as the thefts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605613504458-PEPGHKLTKQ4XPADUIVFN/rembrandt%2Bself%2Bportrait.jpg Art Theft and Forgeries - Stolen Masterpieces Stolen Masterpieces looks at famous works of art that have been stolen, such as Johannes Vermeer’s The Guitar Player and the masterpieces that were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston – a case which still remains unsolved today. This lecture examines the motives behind the thefts and what happens to the aura of the masterpieces after they’ve been stolen and returned. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605613664859-78A6O0QU3P921NOKSZ51/munch-scream-1893.jpg Art Theft and Forgeries - The Inside Stories: the real stories behind the most intriguing cases of stolen art This lecture will examine the most famous works of art that were stolen, what makes the thefts so intriguing, and discuss whether the notoriety of being a stolen work of art increases or decreases the value of the work. Some examples of stolen art that we will discuss include Edvard Munch’s The Scream and the most famous artwork of all time – Leonardo’s da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605613948975-X8DC4JZEOQEMS8QQOQNX/sleeping%2Beros.jpg Art Theft and Forgeries - Fake it till you make it: Forgeries and the Art Market This lecture examines some of the most notorious art forgeries in recent years. We will look at what museums, auction houses and dealers do to counter forgeries and the impact it has on the art market. We will also examine what law enforcement has been doing to recognise fakes and focus on how advances in technology are being used to determine the authenticity of an artwork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605614250602-XZA17X9LK5BTY0FHLA1U/Caravaggio-Nativity%25281600%2529.jpg Art Theft and Forgeries - Museum of the Missing A museum made up of all the stolen artworks that remain missing would house the most valuable collection ever known. This lecture looks at missing masterpieces such as Caravaggio’s Nativity with St Francis and St Laurence, Vermeer’s The Concert, and the missing panel from the Ghent Altarpiece. The lecture will examine how these works were taken and the impact that the thefts have on society. https://www.shaunaisaac.com/artists-and-dealers-lectures daily 0.75 2021-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1605614888761-ADHHILVYGJC5M8X7NDLP/Egon_Schiele_selfportrait.jpg Artists and Dealers - Klimt and Schiele: The bad boys of Austrian art Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele had profound influences on the Viennese culture and they are considered Austrian national treasures. This lecture will delve into the backgrounds of both artists, how they influenced each other, and examine how their art scandalised Viennese society. We will look at what made their art so radical and why they remain celebrated artists today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1612197545247-IB5JI79TOQIKKD8763QC/Georgia_O%27Keeffe_by_Stieglitz%2C_1918.png Artists and Dealers - Artists and Dealers in the 20th Century: A necessary relationship This lecture will examine both the celebrated and antagonistic relationships between artists and their dealers. It will look at some of the most famous partnerships in the 20th century, including Daniel-Henry Khanweiler and Picasso, Alfred Steiglitz and Georgia O’Keefe and Berthe Weill and Amedeo Modigliani. We will also examine the role of female dealers and why so few of them have received proper recognition. https://www.shaunaisaac.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2020-12-01 https://www.shaunaisaac.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1608730435148-QUZ0YNBYUETCVO44IZ2M/full+sothebys+lecture.JPEG Testimonials https://www.shaunaisaac.com/ace daily 0.75 2021-03-14 https://www.shaunaisaac.com/guest-lectures daily 0.75 2026-02-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fa9245b0648af2e7a2fd58a/1626094723275-MITGD7033RCBIW8U33RW/RE+Picasso.JPG Guest lectures - A Rogues’ Gallery: The Motives Behind Art Theft Presented by Dick Ellis on 10 September 2021 The theft of a major work of art never fails to make the headlines, reflecting the deep sense of loss felt by owners, curators and the art loving public. The finger of suspicion is pointed at the mythical billionaire collector whose desire to possess the painting far outruns any sense of morality or respect for the law. Join former head of Scotland Yard's Art Squad, Dick Ellis, who will discuss his famous cases and recoveries including Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” and expose the real motives and trends in cultural property crime. Dick Ellis is an internationally recognised art crime investigator with over 30 years’ experience. He founded and ran the Art & Antiques Squad at Scotland Yard and served as General Manager of Christie’s Fine Art Security Services. His many recoveries include Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”, Audubon’s “Birds of America” and over 7,000 antiquities looted from China and Egypt. He is an Expert Advisor to the British Government on International Loans to Museums.
