These works are by now purpose of official negotiations between Germany and the Ukraine.

End of January 2009 a symposium on “Beutekunst” (i. e. looted art) was held at the Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum. The lectures by representatives of German museums suffering from looted art and by exponents from different fields like diplomacy, law, art trade and journalism were published in 2010 as „Schattengalerie – Symposiums zur Beutekunst. Forschung, Recht und Praxis“ (14,8 x 21cm, 224 pages, c. 100 plates, partly in colour. ISBN 978-3-929203-74-5. Price: € 7,50.)
