Sažetak
On November 19th 1929, a well-known German actress, Tilla Durieux, bought a gouache-watercolor on a black paper base, called Befestigter Ort, in Berlin. Prior to entering the collection of Tilla Durieux, the artwork was sold through the art dealers Rudolf Probst and Alfred Flechtheim. During the rise of Nazism, Tilla emigrated with her husband from Berlin to Zagreb, where they moved into the villa owned by Tilla’s distant relative, the Countess Zlata Lubienski. Among others, many members of the art scene and intellectual elite from Zagreb and abroad visited Tilla’s Collection. In 1950, she formally became a citizen of Yugoslavia. A few years later, when she moved to Germany, her request to take the collection to Berlin was denied for legal reasons. In 1969, it was established that many items were missing, including the Befestigter Ort. The theft of this famous art work was reported to the police on 27th of March 1969. A serious police investigation commenced, and even newspapers wrote about the theft. However, after only a few months, the case got cold. The artwork and the thief were never found – until now. Today we know that the Befestigter Ort is in a private collection in Germany. However, the thief remains unidentified. After the theft, the Befestigter Ort was exhibited four times, first in Venice and Milan in 1986, and then in Dresden and Dusseldorf in 2014 and 2015. Tilla Durieux was devastated with the news of the theft of Klee’s work from her Collection in Zagreb. She died in 1971, without ever knowing its fate, and without ever again seeing Klee’s work again.

Napomena
19. studenoga 1929. poznata njemačka glumica Tilla
Durieux kupila je u Berlinu gvaš akvarel na crnoj
podlozi pod nazivom Befestigter
Ort. Prije toga djelo je bilo prodano preko
trgovaca umjetninama
Rudolfa Probsta i Alfreda Flechtheima. Kako
opasnost od nacizma
postaje sve veća, Tilla emigrira s mužem iz
Berlina u Zagreb gdje se
useljavaju u vilu u vlasništvu Tilline daljnje
rođakinje grofice Zlate
Lubienski. Među ostalim, mnogi članovi likovne
scene i intelektualne elite iz Zagreba i
inozemstva posjećivali su Tillinu zbirku.
Formalno je postala državljanka Jugoslavije 1950.
godine, a nekoliko
godina kasnije, kad se preselila u Njemačku,
njezin zahtjev da preseli zbirku u Berlin je
odbijen zbog pravnih razloga. Godine 1969.
utvrđeno je da u zbirci nedostaju mnoge umjetnine,
između ostalih
i Befestigter Ort. Krađa ovog poznatog umjetničkog
djela prijavljena
je policiji 27. ožujka 1969. godine. Započela je
velika policijska istraga, novine su pisale o
krađi, no nakon nekoliko mjeseci sve je utihnulo.
Umjetničko djelo i kradljivac nisu bili pronađeni,
sve do sada.
Danas znamo da je Befestigter Ort u privatnoj
zbirci u Njemačkoj, ali
kradljivac ostaje nepoznat. Nakon krađe djelo je
četiri puta izlagano:
u Veneciji i Milanu 1986. godine, te u Dresdenu i
Düsseldorfu 2014. i
2015. godine. Tilla Durieux bila je jako pogođena
viješću o krađi
Kleeovog rada iz svoje zbirke u Zagrebu. Umrla je
1971. godine bez
da je saznala istinu o krađi i bez da je ponovno
vidjela Kleeovo djelo
