Yesterday, an Austrian arbitration court ruled that the country is obligated to return five Klimt paintings taken by the Nazis — now valued at $150 million — to Maria Altmann, a 90-year-old Los Angeles woman who is her Jewish family’s oldest heir. (She’s also the niece of Adele Bloch-Bauer, the subject of this well-known painting.)

The fine print in this delicious story is that Altmann’s 60-year-old son, Peter, lives in Lakewood. But don’t get excited about the Klimts making a visit to the Northwest. There are plenty of heirs in line before Peter, and anyway, the family says it will probably negotiate to leave the paintings in Austria. (Another nice connection: Altmann’s lawyer in the case was E. Randol Schoenberg, the 12-tone composer’s grandson.)
