The following is adapted from a "conversation" with Google's AI tool, NotebookLM based on sources uploaded.
1) Artworks mentioned in the sources involving Heinemann or Pinakos?
•
Heilige Sippe mit Maria Cleophae: The provenance indicates that "Kunsthandel F. Kleinberger (Allan Loebl), Paris" was before "Kunsthandel Wildenstein & Co., Paris 1939; Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York, Februar 1954 - 1956; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Leihgabe, 1956 - 1961; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Geschenk, 1961". Additionally, the provenance mentions "möglich Sammlung O. Streber, München; Haskard Bank, Florenz und Charles Fairfax Murray als Agent, 1900; Thomas Agnew & Sons, Ltd., London, 1900; Sammlung Rodolphe Kann (gest. 1905), Paris, Mai 1900 -; Kunsthandel Duveen Brothers, Paris, August 1907; Sammlung Martin Bromberg (und Erben), Hamburg, August 1907 - 1935 (nach) [...]; Sammlung Dr. Max Emden, Schweiz (?); Kunsthandel F. Kleinberger (Allan Loebl), Paris vor 20.12.1938; Kunsthandel Wildenstein & Co., Paris 1939; Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York, Februar 1954 - 1956; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Leihgabe, 1956 - 1961; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Geschenk, 1961". While Rudolf Heinemann is not explicitly mentioned in the direct provenance of this painting in this source, our previous conversation history noted that (Thos. Agnew and Sons, Ltd., London) and Rudolf Heinemann (under the name Pinakos Inc.) were involved in joint acquisitions or sales [previous conversation history]. Source explicitly states that (Thos. Agnew & Sons, Ltd., London) was on joint account with (M. Knoedler & Company, New York), and (Pinakos [Rudolf Heinemann], New York) for a sale to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, which is the eventual owner of this artwork.
•
Heilige Sippe mit Maria Salomae: Similar to its counterpart, the provenance lists "möglich Sammlung O. Streber, München; Haskard Bank, Florenz und Charles Fairfax Murray als Agent, 1900; Thomas Agnew & Sons, Ltd., London, 1900; Sammlung Rodolphe Kann (gest. 1905) , Paris, Mai 1900; Kunsthandel Duveen Brothers, Paris, August 1907; Sammlung Martin Bromberg (und Erben), Hamburg, August 1907 - 1935 (nach) [...]; Sammlung Dr. Max Emden, Schweiz (?); Kunsthandel F. Kleinberger (Allan Loebl), Paris vor 20.12.1938; Kunsthandel Wildenstein & Co., Paris 1939; Samuel H. Kress Foundation, New York, Februar 1954 - 1956; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Leihgabe, 1956 - 1961; National Gallery of Art, Washington, als Geschenk, 1961". Again, while Rudolf Heinemann isn't directly named here, source confirms the joint account involving Pinakos [Rudolf Heinemann] in a sale to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, the final owner of this piece as well.
•
Portrait of Agostino Pallavicini: The provenance states that the artwork was sold "to Pinakos and Thomas Agnew & Sons, Ltd., August 1968" and then sold by "Pinakos Inc. and Thomas Agnew & Sons, Ltd. (London, England)" to the J. Paul Getty Museum in October 1968. This clearly indicates the involvement of Pinakos Inc.
•
An artwork purchased jointly by (Thos. Agnew and Sons, Ltd., London) and (Rudolf Heinemann, New York): This source does not provide the title of this artwork, but it mentions a joint purchase on July 27, 1950, with Agnew's share later sold to Rudolf Heinemann.
•
Sebastiano del Piombo Portrait of a Humanist, c. 1520 on joint account with (Thos. Agnew & Sons, Ltd., London), (M. Knoedler & Company, New York), and (Pinakos [Rudolf Heinemann], New York), sold to the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. (NGA 1961.9.38)
•
A drawing by Gaspar van Wittel, A View of Rome from Santa Maria del Priorato, c. 1710, acquired by (Thomas Agnew and Sons, London) and sold to (Rudolf Heinemann, New York), Donated by Lore Heinemann to the NGA in 2000.
•
A drawing by Domenico Beccafumi: The provenance mentions "purchased there by Thomas Agnew & Sons (London); Percy Moore Turner, London (ca. 1877-1951); Sir Robert Witt, London (1872-1952); Witt Bequest 1952". Source later indicates that the drawing was with "Thomas Agnew & Sons Ltd., London, Bought at Christie's auction, 1959...Lore and Rudolf Heinemann, New York, Bequest to HUAM, 1996". Thus, Rudolf Heinemann was a later owner of this drawing after it passed through Agnew's.
•
Rough Sea: The provenance details that in 1956, "sold by Duits to Rudolf J. Heinemann (dealer, b. 1902 - d. 1975), New York" and that "Agnew's, London, purchased a half-share in the painting from Heinemann in October, 1956 and sold it back to him in February, 1957". This clearly shows Rudolf J. Heinemann's ownership and a transaction involving Agnew.
•
A marble bust of Septimius Severus and a terracotta relief of a seated allegorical female figure with a putto: The provenance of both these sculptures includes "(Agnew's, London, 1960)" followed by "Dr. Rudolf J. Heinemann, Ruvigliano, Lugano, 1966" and his wife as subsequent owners.
It is evident that Rudolf Heinemann and Pinakos had a recurring association with Thomas Agnew & Sons in the acquisition and sale of various artworks, sometimes in partnership with other dealers like M. Knoedler & Co. These collaborations seem to have been active particularly in the mid-20th century.
