A landscape by Claude Monet (1840-1926) has been found in a suitcase the late German collector Cornelius Gurlitt had with him during a hospital stay, the latest piece to emerge from his long-hidden art trove.
The suitcase was left at the hospital for unknown reasons, and was handed over earlier that week to the court-appointed administrator of Gurlitt’s estate, the task force investigating the pieces’ origin said on Sept. 5.
The latest find comes after officials in July reported finding a few more works at Gurlitt’s Munich apartment, including a sculpture apparently by Edgar Degas (1834-1917).

Like the Monet, they were not among 1,280 pieces authorities seized from the apartment in 2012 while investigating a tax case, a collection that included works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and Marc Chagall (1887-1985). It was not immediately clear where the Monet was kept and why it was not seized.

克洛德‧莫內(1840-1926)一幅風景畫在德國已故收藏家科尼利厄斯‧古里特住院時帶的行李箱中被發現,這是其長期隱藏的藝術收藏中最新出現的一件。
調查這件藝品來源的專案小組九月五日說,這個行李箱因不明原因被留在這家醫院,當週稍早被交給法庭指派的古里特資產管理人員。
在這項最新發現之前,官員才剛在七月通報說,發現古里特在慕尼黑的公寓內還有一些藝品,包括顯然是(法國印象派畫家)竇加(1834-1917)的雕塑品。
就像這幅莫內作品一樣,這些藝品都不包括在當局二0一二年調查一起稅務案時,從這間公寓扣押的一千兩百八十件作品之中。那些收藏品包括畢卡索(1881-1973)、馬蒂斯(1869-1954)、夏卡爾(1887-1985)的作品。目前不清楚這幅莫內作品保存在何處,以及為何沒被扣押。

One of us is a murderer. The terrifying thought fills your head. There’s a corpse in the next room, and one of your fellow diners put it there. As the evening progresses, you learn disturbing secrets about everyone, and you’re forced to confess to a few yourself. You all have motives for the crime, but who committed it? Fortunately, it’s just a game. Murder mystery games are multiplayer role-playing games designed to be played over the course of an evening. The concept likely originated with “wink murder,” an amusing pastime that became popular in the early 1900s. In this game, a “murderer” kills
