The provenances of artworks restituted to Jewish families plundered by Nazis contain valuable information for the art historian and Holocaust scholar.
Questions:
- Which transactions occur between the seizure/sale under the Nazis and the restitution?
- Which names appear in these transactions?
- How often do they appear?
This post looks a a simple method for identifying the names of these buyers and sellers for further analysis. In this example, we look at the provenances of artworks sold at Sothebys after they were restituted to their original owners or their heirs.
Selection of artwork restituted to owners or their heirs that were subsequently sold through Sothebys.
Markup:
The owners who were persecuted by Nazis are marked in italics.
The date of restitution is underlined.
The names IN BETWEEN the data of loss and the date of restitution are highlighted in yellow.
This tagging or markup makes it easy to focus on the art market actors through whom the looted artwork passed before it was finally identified and restituted to the family of the spoliated Jewish collector.
The texts containing the names IN BETWEEN can then be analyzed using digital tools such as Voyant-Tools for word frequency (which names pop up most frequently with the looted art), Textrazor, OpenTapioca and other tools for entity recognition and matching, as well as the Looted Art Detector for flagging networks of names.
Focus is on artworks restituted AFTER 1948.
