A legal dispute over ownership of a painting by the German artist Paula Modersohn-Becker could be the final case before a Nazi-looted art commission. From 2003 up until now, this expert panel was responsible for proposing solutions in legal restitution disputes. But from December 1, 2025, onwards, the commission will be replaced by arbitration tribunals. The federal state of Bavaria, for instance, has for years been refusing to investigate the origins of a Picasso painting in the Bavarian State Paintings Collections. The arbitration tribunals are to each be made up of two historians and three lawyers.
