SUMMARY:MJH | “Plunder and Survival” Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, art historian\, and Holocaust survivor Suzanne Loebl\, whose life paralleled much of the events revisited in Plunder and Survival\, takes a new look at the Nazis ruthless attack on modern art and at their unprecedented looting of private\, mostly Jewish art collections in Austria\, Holland\, and France. Eighty-five years after the end of the hostilities\, the book examines a sizable fraction of the art that miraculously survived\, especially in American art museums. In addition to art\, leading artists\, art professionals\, scholars and architects\, fled Hitler’s realm\; their contributions to their new homeland helped to shift the center of art world from Europe to the United States.\nSuzanne Loebl will be in conversation about the book with Abigail Wilentz. \nSuzanne Loebl is the author of fourteen books\, most recently America’s Medicis: The Rockefellers and Their Astonishing Cultural Legacy.

In 2012\, Loebl received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Society of Journalists and Authors.\nAbigail Wilentz has developed books on art\, design\, photography\, fashion\, lifestyle\, and other topics as an editor at Universe Publishing\, a division of Rizzoli International Publications\, at Watson-Guptill Publications\, and independently with agents and authors.
