Unknown artworks found in Nazi trove in Munich

There are previously unknown artworks among some 1,500 pieces found in a trove of Nazi-looted art in Munich, German officials have confirmed.

As slides of the paintings were shown at a news conference, an expert said the works had been seized from private individuals or institutions.

They include works by Renoir, Picasso, Chagall and Toulouse-Lautrec.

Prosecutors said the issue of ownership was still being clarified over the works, which were found in 2011.
