Andrew Orkin et al v. Elizabeth Taylor (Van Gogh case): Orkin family
Actress Elizabeth Taylor has won the right to keep a Van Gogh masterpiece that may have been illegally seized by the Nazis - because the family who once owned it waited too long to ask for its return.
Dame Elizabeth, 75, bought the 1889 work, View Of The Asylum And Chapel At Saint-Remy, at Sotheby’s in 1963 for ?92,000. She keeps it in her Los Angeles home.
The painting, completed by Van Gogh near the end of his life, is estimated to now be worth up to ?8 million.
