Israel Returns Nazi-Seized Klee Drawing to Jewish Victim’s Heir

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem restituted a drawing by Paul Klee to the heir of a Jewish telephone maker who fled the Nazis in 1937.

The 1920 drawing, “Veil Dance,” was among works that Harry Fuld left with a transportation company when he escaped Germany for England. His art collection was seized by the Nazis in 1941. The Klee drawing was among works handed over by the allies to the Jewish Restitution Successor Organization in 1948.
