The Paul Graupe auction house was a key player in sales of Jewish art collections during the Nazi-era.
In this post, we look at a selection of 88 artworks in American museums that mention "Graupe" in the provenance text.
Some texts refer to sales prior to 1933. Some texts specify that an artwork was NOT sold at Graupe's. And some texts clearly refer to sales at Graupe's during the Nazi era. Some texts are factual while others contain speculative language.
Holocaust victims in the provenances include:
- Friedrich Gutmann (murdered)
- Max Silberberg (murdered)
- Rosa Oppenheimer (murdered)
Where possible, post-Graupe dealers and owners are highlighted in yellow.

In 1935 the Berlin branches van Diemen and its affiliated galleries were liquidated by order of the Nazis, with sales organized by Graupe on 25 January and 26 April.

Ilse Manke’s 1963 monograph on de Witte situates the painting in 1953 with “Kunsthandel Steinmeyer, Munich,” a gallery founded by Julius Wilhelm Böhler and Fritz Steinmeyer in Lucerne (not Munich). This reference is most likely erroneous, as the painting remained with Bohnewand until his death and was sold in the posthumous sale of his collection in 1969. Prior to Steinmeyer, Manke gives the following provenance, in reverse chronological order: Bohnewand, a Berlin private collection, and Stroefer. The Berlin private collector is likely Bohnewand, given what we know about his dates of ownership of the painting. Volume XXXVI of Thieme-Becker, published in 1947, also situates the painting in a Berlin private collection, which, again, must refer to Bohnewand. The provenance given by Thieme-Becker for the CMA painting lists the Stroefer sale and then notes, “zuletzt bei Ed. Plietzsch,” which indicates that the most recent owner had been Eduard Plietzsch. Plietzsch was specialist in Dutch and Flemish painting who played a large role in the development of Goering’s collection as the chief assistant to Kajetan Mühlmann, a major figure in the Nazi art confiscations. The reference to Plietzsch in connection with the CMA painting appears incorrect: First, we know that the painting was with Bohnewand from 1937 until his posthumous sale in 1969. Second, there is no documentary evidence confirming Plietzsch’s ownership of this painting, and in fact, it’s possible that at some point the provenance of the CMA painting was confused with that of other paintings of church interiors by de Witte that were connected to Plietzsch, whether before or after the Stroefer sale: Interior of a Church was confiscated from the Jaffe collection (Munich Central Collecting Point no. 4061) by the Dienststelle Mühlmann, and two de Witte church interior scenes appear in the liquidation sales of the Berlin branch of Plietzsch’s gallery, Galerie van Diemen (Paul Graupe, Jan. 25th and April 26th, 1935).;Provenance Citations;Bohnewand, Curt.

Although it left Italy in the eighteenth century, it belonged to the Van Diemen Gallery in Berlin by 1930. Clearly it was acquired under legitimate circumstances by the Van Diemen Gallery, but it has not been possible to determine when or to whom it was sold by them. The Van Diemen Gallery relocated from Berlin to New York before 1935, becoming Van Diemen Lillienfeld. There is every reason to imagine that this painting presents no improprieties of provenance, but we have no hard proof of that. The present owner of the Van Diemen Lillienfeld stock cards, which in any event go back only to 1945, can find no mention of this painting among them.;Paul Graupe Collection, Berlin, 25 January 1935 (sale of Van Diemen Gallery Collection, Berlin, Vanni's Madonna della Pappa not included).;Bibliography;Gugielmo Della Valle, Lettere Sanesi, 3 (Rome: Salomoni, 1786), 351.;Ulrich Thieme et al., Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, 34 (Leipzig, Germany: W.

Benedikt was the co-owner of Van Diemen, but also opened his own gallery in Berlin in 1928 with an exhibition of old master paintings. The painting was exhibited at the New York branch of Van Diemen in 1928, and lent by Van Diemen to an exhibition in Detroit in 1929. The Berlin branches of Van Diemen and its affiliated galleries were liquidated by the Nazis at sales held at the Graupe gallery in Berlin on 25 January and 26 April 1935, but the painting was not in either of those sales. | Q214867_1953.3.2 |

Kress Foundation, New York, gift 1961 to NGA.;[1] Unfortunately, we know nothing about the commission or the original location of the panel. Based on a note affixed to the back of the picture, the painting is traditionally thought to have been in a church in Arnhem, in the Gelderland region of the Netherlands. Colin Eisler's assertion that the painting may have been done for the high altar of the Sint Janskerk in Arnhem, is possible, but awaits confirming evidence. (Eisler 1977, 9, where he also suggests that the commission may have been given to Johan van Hatstein, Commander of the Order of Saint John from 1486 to 1497.)

In their absence they were forced out of the management of Margraf and Co. and were forbidden by court order from conducting any legal transactions for the company. The Nazi regime appointed an Aryan administrator who was a close associate of Hermann Göring to dissolve the Margraf dealerships. The gallery stock, including this tapestry, was quickly sold off in a series of auctions held in Berlin in 1935 that are considered forced liquidation sales. After learning that the Jakob and Rosa Oppenheimer had involuntarily lost possession of the tapestry in the 1935 sale, the PMA contacted the Oppenheimer heirs in 2010, and a financial settlement allowing the PMA to retain the work was reached in May 2011.;4. See curatorial files of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, correspondence with Garbáty regarding the gift of four of the tapestry panels from the series to the MFA during the 1950s. On November 16, 1950, Garbáty wrote to curator Gertrude Townsend of the MFA that he had acquired six of the set of eight tapestries about 15 years previously (i.e., c. 1935) from an art dealer who was supposedly selling them on request of the owner, from Springfeld Castle, near Graz, Steiermark, Austria. When Ms. Townsend informed him of the 1929 Der Cicerone article, he stated that he was not aware that the tapestries had earlier belonged to Margraf & Co. He noted that he fled Germany for Paris in 1938 (he was Jewish), where he arranged for part of his art collection to be shipped to him, including the tapestries. He stated that he lost two of his six tapestries in France after entrusting them to Paris art dealers A. and R. Ball and Jansen [Jensen] when he emigrated to the U.S. in 1939. He provided photographs to the MFA of the entire set of eight panels, but said that he could not identify which were the two that he had lost possession of in France. The Répertoire des biens spoliés en France durant la guerre 1939-1945, 2nd suppl. to vols. 2, 3, and 4 (Berlin, 1947-1949), a publication of claims submitted to the Central Bureau of Restitutions of the Allied occupation government in Berlin, lists the two tapestries from the Pope Urban VIII series that Garbáty claimed to have lost in France, with photographs, and neither image is of the PMA panel. However, it is unclear how accurate the information regarding the claim (apparently submitted by Garbáty’s lawyer) actually was, as Garbáty commented in the above-referenced 1950 letter that he did not believe that he ever owned one of the panels, depicting the Castel Gandolfo, Rome, that was in fact illustrated in the Répertoire des biens spoliés as one of his two missing Barberini tapestries.;5. The Vicomte de Noailles gave the tapestry to the PMA through Henry P. McIlhenny, PMA curator of decorative arts, to thank him for his hospitality after a stay in McIlhenny’s Glenveagh Castle in Ireland in May 1960. In a letter to McIlhenny dated May 28, 1960 (copy in registrar file), de Noailles wrote that it had been purchased at a Hôtel Drouot sale about fifteen or twenty years previously and had been kept in storage at his Paris house ever since. He did not provide further specifics on the sale. | Q510324_1960-95-1 |

Gudlaugsson, Geraert ter Borch,2 vols., The Hague, 1959-1960: 2:206, proposed that this painting might be the one that was sold at auction in Rotterdam on 3 August 1811, no. 48 (HdG 1907-1927, 5: 55, no. 146). The dimensions (63.5 x 49.5 cm) of this depiction of a music lesson, however, were somewhat smaller than those of NGA 1960.6.10, so it may well have been yet another variant of the composition. In 1935 the Berlin branches of Van Diemen and its affiliated galleries were liquidated by order of the Nazis, with sales organized by Graupe on 25 January and 26 April. This painting was not in either of those sales, and thus had been sold from or sent to the New York branch before 1935. | Q214867_1960.6.10 |
