A New York court Monday dismissed a lawsuit filed by the alleged owner of a Pablo Picasso painting who claimed his great-uncle was forced by the Nazis to sell the artwork. Justice Rolando T. Acosto found that Julius H. Schoeps, who claims to be an heir to Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, lacked standing to sue the Andrew Lloyd Webber Art Foundation, the current owner of "Portrait de Angel Fernandez de Soto," because he had not been appointed as the personal representative of Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's estate.
