Descendants of two prominent czarist-era art collectors demanded compensation as a major exhibition of Russian art was previewed on Tuesday at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Bloomberg News reported. The descendants, AndrÃ©-Marc Delocque-Fourcaud, grandson of Sergei Shchukin, and Pierre Konowaloff, great-grandson of Ivan Morosov, did not seek the return of paintings. Instead, they asserted a moral right to a portion of the proceeds from the show, to open on Saturday. A spokeswoman for the Russian Federal Agency of Culture and Cinematography declined to comment. Fears of legal claims to some of the 120 works in the show, âFrom Russia: French and Russian Master Paintings 1870-1925 From Moscow and St. Petersburgâ cast doubt over the exhibition for several weeks until Britain satisfied Russia that the paintings, including art by Gauguin, Kandinsky and van Gogh, would be returned after it ends on April 18.
