Under Ohio law, actions for the recovery of personal property must be brought within four years after the injured party discovered or should reasonably have discovered the injury and the wrongdoer. The court further noted that the fact that many Holocaust-related claims were made by Martha Nathan and her estate, but none were made regarding the painting, is strong evidence that the saleof the painting to the Toledo Museum was legitimate. Moreover,Nathan had dealt with the dealers before and after the sale and they, too, were Jewish and neither she nor the paintings were in German occupied territory at the time of the sale.
Although the heirs argued that Nathan was forced to sell the painting far under the market value because of Nazi persecution, the court found that Nathan did not sell the painting under duress.
All rights reserved. Toledo Museum of Art v. Ullin Toledo Museum of Art v. Ullin , No. Ohio One of the first things he did was get a map and point out that we have art from Europe and North America, but very little from anywhere else. So of recent, we have been acquiring works by artists from South America, Africa, Australia, and Asia, while maintaining our attention on Europe and North America.
In the last year, an additional emphasis has been on reaching out to our local and regional communities. We therefore need to manifest that this museum is for everybody, by inviting people to venture inside our structures.
So things are changing for the better. Quality is what our institution pursues. I always say to myself, would this hang in the Louvre? Is it as good as the artist produced? And most of the time that is what we succeed in achieving. But I also wanted to broaden what we were offering our visitors. For example, in we acquired a still-life by Antoine Berjon, a Lyonnaise painter active in the first decades of the nineteenth century.
It truly is an utterly uncanny creation. I remember a wonderful conversation I had with Seymour Slive about the Hals when we were considering the painting. Do I recommend a fragment?
If I were to quantify my time working here, seemingly half of my days are devoted to monitoring the art market and thinking about acquisitions. I have a practice of writing everything down, and I can reference things. Some dealers kid me that they have to inquire of me what they were asking for a painting years ago.
An experience that shaped my curatorial activity here in Toledo was living in Utrecht for two-and-half years between and I was doing dissertation research at the institute for art history at Utrecht University, working with professor E. Living in Holland facilitated the preparation of my Goltzius paintings catalogue.
During those years it was very purposeful to see collections of countless museums, from Northern Italy to Stockholm. And in the winter, heat from the ovens enters the cavity and warms the rest of the building. Noise bounces off hard surfaces such as glass. The acoustic plaster ceiling absorbs some of this noise. A movable interior curtain used to make interior spaces bigger or smaller also helps to deaden the noise. Concerned that the ultra-clear, low-iron glass would create dizzying, funhouse-type reflections, the design team did considerable daylighting studies, including computer modelling and full-scale mock-ups.
The finished building does have some reflections, but they help create a pleasant, nuanced experience. The reflections and varying light conditions filter the view through the building, making the glass transparent at times and reflective at others.
The glass in the project originated in Germany, then went to southern China, where it was curved and laminated. From there, it travelled to Toledo. The installed glass is quite strong and poses little danger of shattering. The exterior glass is 2. When the design team tested a full-scale mock-up by throwing rocks and bricks at it, the glass walls survived.
