Expertise in Nazi looted art

Shauna has been active in World War II art recovery for several years and has worked with families and various organisations to return Nazi looted art. Her interest in this subject comes from a family member that had art looted by the Nazis. She set up the Central Registry on Looted Cultural Property, served as a member of the Working Group for the Holocaust Era Assets Conference in Prague, and was on the advisory board for the European Shoah Legacy Institute. She has conducted provenance research for families, government agencies and law firms.

Shauna studied at Smith College and the Courtauld Institute of Art. She is available for speaking engagements and provenance research.
