France and Israel Close to Deal for Art Gary Fitleberg, November 23, 2004France and Israel are close to an agreement on the permanent loan of 14 major artworks whose owners apparently died in the Holocaust. The French were unable to track down the heirs of the original Jewish owners of the works, said a senior Israeli official who helped negotiate the deal, so the works will be displayed in Israeli museums. The written agreement is important, the official said Thursday, because it explicitly names Israel as the inheritor of Jews who perished in Europe during the Holocaust.
