   A German task force investigating the provenance

of a spectacular Nazi-era art hoard of hundreds of works

said Thursday that only five had been proved

to be looted thus far, and defended its slow progress.

The government-appointed panel presented its report

on the 500 pieces of suspect origin among the more

than 1,200 artworks in the secret collection discovered

in Cornelius Gurlitt's cluttered Munich apartment

four years ago.

But the 14-member task force, which wrapped up

its investigation in late December, said that
only one percent could be shown without doubt
to have been stolen from Jewish families
under the Third Reich

or sold under duress.
