Mary MacPherson Lane (born October 1987) is an American non-fiction writer and journalist specializing in Western European art and history.
Lane gained recognition as the chief European art reporter for The Wall Street Journal,[1] and for publishing numerous scoops on the art trove of Hildebrand Gurlitt. One of Adolf Hitler's main art dealers, Gurlitt bequeathed a collection of roughly 1,300 artworks, many looted from museums and Jewish European families, to his son Cornelius Gurlitt.[2][3] Her book-length narrative on Nazi-looted art was published in 2019 by Hachette under the title Hitler's Last Hostages: Looted Art and the Soul of the Third Reich.[4]
