Heirs of a Jewish art collector are suing Austria over its refusal to return five paintings they say were stolen by the Nazis. The heirs’ lawyer said Tuesday that the works should be returned to the heirs of Ferdinand Bloch- Bauer, who fled Austria in 1938, leaving most of his art collection behind. The paintings by Gustav Klimt, now valued at $160 million, are in a state-run museum.
