Jewish heirs sue Met Museum and Greek foundation over Nazi-looted Van Gogh painting

The heirs of a Jewish couple who fled Germany in the 1930s are suing the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and a Greek art foundation over a van Gogh oil painting they say was looted by the Nazis.

The Met purchased Vincent van Gogh’s 1889 'Olive Picking' for $125,000 (€108,000) in 1956 and sold it to a Greek magnate in 1972.
