Ownership, history and morality are the poignant themes tackled here in relation to the restitution of art looted by the Nazis and the ongoing crises in the art world. Amongst a number of contemporary scandals, the director follows the disputes at the Dusseldorf City Museum where they struggled for over three years to organise an exhibition,initially planned for 2018, in honour of Jewish art dealer Max Stern. Expelled from the City following the forced liquidation of his Gallery in 1937, Stern went on to become the largest art dealer in Canada whilst his heirs have succeeded in becoming the most successful dealers in art restitution in the world.
