LOS ANGELES - Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor is fighting a family's claims that a Vincent van Gogh painting she owns was taken from one of their ancestors by Nazis. Descendants of Margarete Mauthner claim "View of the Asylum of Saint-Remy" was taken from the German woman during World War II, and are demanding the Taylor return the painting, which appraisers said could fetch $10 million to $15 million at auction.
Actress Elizabeth Taylor can keep a Vincent van Gogh painting after a federal appeals court upheld dismissal of a lawsuit by relatives of a Jewish woman who claim she was forced to sell it before fleeing Nazi Germany in 1939. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled today that a lower court correctly dismissed claims by descendants of Margarete Mauthner who sued Taylor for return of van Gogh's Vue de l'Asile et de la Chapelle de Saint-Remy or View of the Asylum and Chapel at Saint-Remy. The work was painted in 1889, a year before van Gogh committed suicide. Taylor's father purchased the painting, now worth as much as $20 million, for her in 1963.
