Editing Maurice Utrillo (section)

== Nazi-looted art ==
In 2022, Utrillo's ''Carrefour à Sannois'' which the Nazis had looted from the French Jewish art collector and dealer [[Georges Bernheim]] in 1940, was restituted to the heirs after a long legal battle. The city of [[Sannois]] (Val-d'Oise) had bought the painting at [[Sotheby's]] in 2004. In 2015 the Commission responsible for dealing with Nazi-looted art (the CIVS) advised the town that the painting had been looted. A new law  voted by France's [[National Assembly (France)|National Assembly]] in 2022 paved the way for restitution. <ref>{{Cite web |last=à 17h26 |first=Par Christophe Lefèvre Le 30 mai 2022 |date=2022-05-30 |title=Sannois : le tableau de Maurice Utrillo spolié pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale rendu à son propriétaire |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/val-d-oise-95/sannois-le-tableau-de-maurice-utrillo-spolie-pendant-la-seconde-guerre-mondiale-rendu-a-son-proprietaire-30-05-2022-ATAI3E6FPRCKTBBDQUC5QYWMUY.php |access-date=2023-01-14 |website=leparisien.fr |language=fr-FR}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Sannois. 82 ans après son vol par les nazis, la toile d'Utrillo enfin rendue à son légataire |url=https://actu.fr/ile-de-france/sannois_95582/sannois-82-ans-apres-son-vol-par-les-nazis-la-toile-d-utrillo-rendue-a-son-legataire_51318000.html |access-date=2023-01-14 |website=actu.fr |date=30 May 2022 |language=fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Gros plan sur la restitution des œuvres spoliées par les nazis |url=https://www.lagazettedescommunes.com/804451/gros-plan-sur-la-restitution-des-oeuvres-spoliees-par-les-nazis/ |access-date=2023-01-14 |website=La Gazette des Communes |language=fr-FR}}</ref>
