Gurlitts says the 1,000 paintings are his property

Cornelius Gurlitts is adamant that the 1,000 paintings found in his house in Schwaben are his property. In an interview with Spiegel he stresses that the paintings were legally inherited by him from his father.
Interesting claims and counter claims ahead.

One might well ask how much of the world's great art has been at some stage or other stolen from somone, somewhere, somehow.
