E. Randol Schoenberg will present the first lecture in the Nancy & David Wolf Lectureship on his work retrieving Klimt’s “Golden Lady” painting, among others, after a protracted legal battle with the Austrian government. The lecture is hosted by the Northern Kentucky University Salmon P. Chase College of Law.
Schoenberg is a lawyer and genealogist based in Los Angeles, CA., and works primarily on cases recovering looted or stolen artwork that disappeared during Nazi rule. Schoenberg’s work to retrieve the “Golden Lady” was captured in the 2015 film “Woman in Gold,” starring Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, and Katie Holmes.
Schoenberg will present in his lecture the story of his work on the “Golden Lady” case during this inaugural lecture, which will be followed by a conversation between Schoenberg and Professor Jack Harrison, the David and Nancy Wolf Chair in Ethics and Professional Identity at Northern Kentucky University Chase College of Law. The lecture and discussion will be held at 5:30 p.m. at the Reakirt Auditorium at Union Terminal. Registration is required and can be found on the Holocaust and Humanity center website.
The next day, September 28, “Fioretta,” a documentary featuring Schoenberg and his son, will be shown by the Holocaust and Humanity Center at the Mariemont Theater at 7:00 p.m.
The film covers the story of Schoenberg and his son as they travel through Europe and track 500 years of family history. After the film, Schoenberg, who created the film, will host a short discussion.
