Adolph Menzel, restituted to the heirs of Walter Westfeld |
Below is a selection of several provenances published online by Sotheby's. Some of the provenance texts indicate that artworks put up for auction had previously been restituted to the families of persecuted collectors.
For the artworks that have been restituted, the provenances - before the restitution - offer clues to how the resale market for Nazi-looted art worked. Through which hands did the artworks pass? Do any names recur?
(Attention, not all the artworks in this list are concerned by this analysis. Those that are are marked in purple and/or contain the word "restituted").

Schiele had had a studio at 31 Grünbergstrasse from early 1910. But in May 1911, he eloped to Krumau with the 17-year old Wally Neuzil, only for the pair to be driven out of town by the inhabitants, outraged by his behaviour with Wally and by his use of the local girls as models. This letter was written in his new temporary home in Neulengbach, thirty kilometres west of Vienna. Unfortunately, he soon outraged the locals there too and, imprisoned for seducing an under-age girl, his erotic drawings were confiscated. His patron, Dr Alfred Spitzer was a lawyer who represented Schiele on occasion and who administered his estate after the artist’s early death. He owned eleven works by Schiele, and Schiele’s portrait of him is now in the Albertina gallery in Vienna. Not in Nebehay and apparently unpublished: C.M.
