quotation
The museum’s German-born director, Wilhelm R. Valentiner, who led the institution from 1924 to 1945, spent his summers collecting in Europe and spotted the painting in a gallery in London in June of 1930. Telegrams flew across the Atlantic between Valentiner and the Arts Commission, a board appointed by the city of Detroit to oversee the museum, leading to the negotiation of a purchase price of nearly $38,000 covered by municipal funds.

quotation
The Detroit Institute of Arts, also criticized in the new WJRO report for going to court over Van Gogh’s “The Diggers,” had a similar case. Museum director Graham Beal says the museum spent 18 months and $500,000 to research the painting and determined that it was sold, in 1938, for fair market value and not under duress. The family making the claim disagreed. The museum, Beal says, was forced to file suit based on the statute of limitations. (English)
