So who was the heir in 27 years of disputes?
|
The history is incredibly complicated. On the Internet there is almost no information about clashes between the heirs of that - very strange, it would seem that journalists should be to pounce on it.
I found the decision of the Cassation Court. Here's how I understood the situation:
When Vollard died about a lot of paintings from his collection in the hands of Eric Shlomovicha, student Yugoslav nationality, arrived in Paris in 1934 Part of these pictures (about 400), he moved to Zagreb where they were exhibited in 1940 at the Museum Fine Arts, and the other part (190 pictures) stored in a safe, which he took on the name of his father in the bank Societe Generale.
Sam Slomovich died during the Second World War. At the end of the war, his mother decided to move the picture in Belgrade, but the train, in which they were loaded, was bombed. How much work lost, to say impossible, in the postwar period paintings from this collection appear in different places in Europe. The surviving paintings were confiscated after the war the new communist government, which stated that Shlomovicha there are no heirs, and that the collection belongs to Yugoslavia.
In 1946, Societe Generale has decided to open the safe, shot Shlomovichem, as he pays for it stopped coming long ago. Until 1977 the painting was stored in stock bank in Nantes.
In 1977 the bank made an inventory of this collection of paintings and intended to sell them at public auction. To this end, he organized the campaign. Vollard's heirs, on the one hand, and Shlomovicha, on the other hand, know about these pictures of the information disseminated by the bank Societe Generale, told of their rights to the picture.
On the first court decision paintings were divided between the heirs and the heirs of Vollard Shlomovicha.
However, the heirs Shlomovicha argue that Vollard gave Shlomovichu all these pictures, appealed the decision on the grounds that the heirs of Vollard knew about the existence of these pictures at least since 1940 when they were exhibited in the Museum of Belgrade, but he never attempted to obtain them, and consequently, their right to inheritance shall be preskriptsii.
For its part, the heirs of Vollard filed a lawsuit, which challenged the law Shlomovicha at these pictures, claiming that they were handed to him on consignment.
In addition, both parties file claims against the bank Societe Generale.
The Court of Cassation rejected the claims of both sides and decided to return to the court of first instance that the paintings will be divided among the heirs of Vollard and Shlomovicha, who together must reimburse the bank of its costs (a very small amount). As a result, all these heirs have agreed among themselves.
In general, Yugoslavia also claim these pictures, but referred to in passing and without explanation.
