<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 180830, member: 44&quot;]Here is a 1994 New York Times article annoucing the forthcoming exhibit at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. The exhibit was of French Impressionist and post impressionist paintings taken out of Germany by the USSR after WWII that the rest of the world thought were lost and probably destroyed. The USSR had kept their existance a top state secret. The article mentions Mary Cassatt in relation to another painter, but doesn&#039;t say whether any of her paintings are there. It also says Harry Abrams was publishing the catalog for the exhibit.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/04/arts/hermitage-reveals-it-hid-trove-of-impressionist-art.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/04/arts/hermitage-reveals-it-hid-trove-of-impressionist-art.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/04/arts/hermitage-reveals-it-hid-trove-of-impressionist-art.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
