The Dutch
department of Christie’s is going to investigate its role in the sale of stolen
art from the German Democratic Republic (DDR). Between 1979-1989, Dutch traders
bought, for 60 million guilders, stolen art from the DDR. The art was apparently stolen by a secret
organization of the DDR Ministry of Trade. In the 1980s, much art was brought
to Christie’s in Amsterdam. What was not
sold was put in a warehouse in Lisse.
