A judge in New York ruled that the Art Institute of Chicago must surrender a 1916 drawing by Egon Schiele to investigators who plan to return it to the heirs of a Jewish cabaret entertainer from Vienna who was murdered in a Nazi concentration camp in 1941. The drawing was found to have been looted by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The Art Institute disputed the evidence and challenged the jurisdiction of the Manhattan district attorney's office, but the judge agreed with the investigators on all points.
