Curt Valentin in provenances at the Harvard Art Museums
- The Persistent Crime of Nazi-Looted Art, by Sophie Gilbert, in The AtlanticLooted Art |
The director of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Alfred H. Barr Jr. used art dealer Curt Valentin as an intermediary to secretly purchase artworks confiscated by Nazis from German museums. What else did Barr and other American museums directors purchase through Valentin?
In this next series of posts, we will look at the provenances of artworks that mention Curt Valentin.
An interesting exercise for young art historians and provenances researchers is to examine each provenance with the questions:
1) Who owned this artwork before Curt Valentin?
2) Are there provenance gaps for the years 1933-1945?
3) What share of artworks that mention Curt Valentin in the provenance lack information about sellers, dates and places for the Nazi years? (0-25%; 26-50%; 51%-75%; 76%-100%).
4) What possible explanations might there be for the observations in 3)?
5) What actions does this suggest?
1. Mentions of Curt Valentin in the provenances of artworks at the Harvard Art Museums

DATABASE: Download the Entartete Kunst inventory
"The V&A holds the only known copy of a complete inventory of 'Entartete Kunst' confiscated by the Nazi regime from public institutions in Germany, mostly during 1937 and 1938. The list of more than 16,000 artworks was produced by the Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda) in 1942 or thereabouts. It seems that the inventory was compiled as a final record, after the sales and disposals of the confiscated art had been completed in the summer of 1941. The inventory’s two typescript volumes provide crucial information about the provenance, exhibition history and fate of each artwork.
