A stash of art uncovered in a Munich apartment includes works that were previously unknown, among them a Marc Chagall gouache and a self-portrait by Otto Dix, the art historian examining them said.
The cache of more than 1,400 paintings, lithographs, drawings and prints was seized by authorities investigating Cornelius Gurlitt on suspicion of tax evasion in a three-day operation in March 2012. It includes works by Max Beckmann, Pablo Picasso, Oskar Kokoschka, Franz Marc, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Max Liebermann, prosecutors said.
