The American SetA Kandinsky Reclaimed, and Ready for the Block Again
A Wassily Kandinsky that spent nearly a decade tied up in a restitution fight is now cleared for market, heading to Christie's with expectations near $30 million. The resolution closes out one of the longer-running restitution cases in recent memory, returning a major canvas to circulation after years in which it could not be bought or sold. For a work with that kind of history, the sale itself becomes part of the appeal — provenance as settled as the paint. Collectors who track restitution cases will be watching this one as closely as the hammer price.
