All change for Lévy Gorvy Dayan in Hong Kong; antiquities gallery ruffles feathers at London fair
A stolen painting by Titian, returned to a London bus stop in 2002, sold at Christie’s this week for £15mn . “The Rest on the Flight into Egypt” was burgled from Longleat, a stately home in south-west England, in 1995 and returned seven years later in a carrier bag at a bus stop after the announcement of a £100,000 reward for information. The small painting, a prized early work, was also among a collection of Venetian works looted by Napoleon’s army from Vienna in 1809.
A statement from his lawyers says that “a few dozen objects”, out of 15,000 investigated, were “documented below legal requirements or returned by our client, of his own initiative, on the grounds that they could have been obtained, by the person who placed them on the market, but without knowledge, in a manner contrary to the law”.
