Ghyslain Sabourin's Company Details
Mondex Corporation ("Mondex") specializes in the recovery of valuable artworks looted from families in Europe during WWII. We are a unique service firm comprised of historical & provenance researchers and lawyers based in North America and Europe. Mondex is highly regarded internationally, owing to our expert handling of art restitution cases, which typically present many extraordinary complexities.The looting of art during WWII was unprecedented in history. More than 600,000 items were stolen or were acquired by forced sale, representing 20% of the art in Europe at that time. Of that, it is estimated that fully half of these items remain lost.The recovery of looted art requires global research capabilities, legal expertise in a wide range of jurisdictions, and the tenacity to see cases through to their conclusion. It also requires diplomacy, tact and an understanding of past and present obstacles to restitution. Each case is unique, presenting diverse legal and moral challenges that demand thoughtful consideration.
