Max Silberberg was a Jewish art collector in Breslau murdered by the Nazis.
Is he the same person as "Silbergerg" in the provenance text of "Fruits, serviette et boîte à lait" by Paul Cézanne?
The provenance published by the Musée de l'Orangerie in Paris is:
Galerie Durand-Ruel, Paris
Collection Mauthner-Markhof, Vienne, Autriche
Galerie Thannhauser, Lucerne
Galerie Siegfried Rosengart, Lucerne
Collection S. Silbergerg, Breslau
Collection Ambroise Vollard, Paris
Collection Georges Bernheim, Paris
Collection Hugo Moser, Berlin
Collection Paul Cassirer, berlin
À partir de 1932, galerie Georges Petit, Paris
Collection Jean Walter, Paris
Jusqu'en 1959, collection Mme Jean Walter
1959, acquis de Mme Jean Walter avec le concours de la Société des Amis du Louvre (arrêté d'approbation de la vente du 21/02//1959)
usée du Louvre
1977, musée de l'Orangerie, Paris, entrée matérielle
The only dates to be found in the provenance are: 1932, 1959, 1977
What was the itinerary of this artwork? Who owned it at what time? The provenance does not say.
However the bibliography published by the museum contains the mention:
Exhibition of Important Paintings by Great French Masters of the Nineteenth Century organized by Paul Rosenberg and Durand-Ruel for the Benefit of the Children's Aid Society and the French Hospital of New York (cat. exp. 1934, New York, Durand-Ruel), [s.n.], 1934, (cat. p. 7 ["Nature morte, fond papier mural", "Silberberg Collection, Breslau"])
Should this be interpreted to mean that in 1934 the Cézanne was owned by Silberberg? Who lent it to an exhibition organized by Paul Rosenberg and Durand-Ruel?
What happened next?
At present, the provenance leaps from 1932 to 1959.
