About this audio guide
This guide to Museum Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf follows a single painting of foxes by Franz Marc, and the Berlin banker Kurt Grawi who bought it in nineteen twenty-eight. It moves from Kristallnacht and a flight to Chile to a New York dealer, a Hollywood director and a postwar department-store magnate, and asks who a picture belongs to when it was sold in exile. Best heard outside, facing the museum's entrance on the Ehrenhof.
