To finance his survival, Wallerstein sold artworks, including the Kirchner painting. After his heirs filed restitution claims, it was agreed that the painting by Kirchner would remain at the Brücke Museum, which had acquired it in 1973. The museum made a compensation payment to the heirs.

Opposition grows to the German government's recent decision to reform the art restitution process in Germany by creating an arbitration tribunal to adjudicate claims.
The main criticism is that this is not a reform but rather major steps backwards for art claimants.
