Ray Dowd returns to the NAC, this time to take us on an astonishing visual tour of the latest Nazi looting cases to hit the art world. He queries whether U.S. museums and collectors have betrayed the Allied victory in World War II by holding on to works belonging to persecuted Jewish families. Will the U.S. Supreme Court deal with the issue? A pre-eminent litigator in federal and state courts, Dowd has lectured at venues such as the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, the 2009 Holocaust-Era Assets Conference in Prague, and most recently at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He is a partner in the law firm of Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP in NYC and is a national officer of the Federal Bar Association. You’ve read about his cases in The New York Times and ArtNews, now get the story first hand.
