COLLEGE ART

IN NORTHEAST OHIO, OBERLIN COLLEGE ARTWORK THAT WAS BELIEVED TO BE STOLEN DURING THE HOLOCAUST WAS SEIZED FROM THE ALLEN MEMORIAL ART MUSEUM. 
THE PAINTING GIRL WITH BLACK HAIR IS VALUED AT $1.5 MILLION. IT WAS OWNED BY FRITZ GRUNBAUM, WHO DIED IN A CONCENTRATION CAMP IN 1941. OBERLIN COLLEGE REPRESENTATIVES SAY THEY ARE CONFIDENT THEY ILLEGALLY ACQUIRED THE ARTWORK, BUT ARE COOPERATING WITH INVESTIGATORS. REMEMBER IT WAS LAST MONTH THAT A STATUE WAS SEIZED FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART AS PART OF ANOTHER STOLEN ART INVESTIGATION.
