At just seven years old, she was adopted before her new family fled Paris. Her adoptive parents, Raoul and Yvonne Meyer, hid their artwork, which included the Pissarro, as well as a Picasso and Renoir. With the Nazi occupation of Paris, the works were seized and ended up in the hands of a Swiss dealer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Eventually, the work was &#8220;purchased in good faith&#8221; through a New York gallery before being donated to the University of Oklahoma. Supposedly, Meyer signed an agreement five years ago which would see the work rotate between Paris&#8217; Musee d&#8217;Orsay and the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art in Oklahoma. Still, she continued fighting for ownership, saying she entered into the agreement under duress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With French courts ruling that her contract supercedes French law requiring restitution of Nazi-looted art, along with further legal action being threatened by the University of Oklahoma, Meyer has given up her fight. Sure, it&#8217;s nice that the University will uphold their end of the agreement and continue rotating the work every three years and displaying a plaque sharing the Meyer family story. But, the University further stated that it was committed to identifying and transferring ownership to a French Public Institution. I assume so they get some financial benefit\u2026 seems that they don&#8217;t actually care about holding onto the work; they just don&#8217;t want to give it up for nothing. Sad to see.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/world\/french-heiress-ends-fight-university-oklahoma-over-nazi-looted-art-n1269297\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French heiress ends fight with University of Oklahoma over Nazi-looted art<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A final update on the work by Camille Pissarro \u2013 La Bergere Rentrant des Moutons.\u00a0Leone-Noelle Meyer, a Holocaust survivor herself, has renounced her rights to the artwork in a decades-long legal struggle.
