Waldmüller, Hitler and Collections Today

Hilter loved the art of Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller (15 January 1793 in Vienna – 23 August 1865 in Hinterbrühl, Austria). Waldmüller was a Nazi favourite. So much so that in examining the provenances of Waldmüller art acquired after 1933, one can reasonably wonder : 

How likely is it that this Waldmüller did not pass through Nazi hands?

In this post we try to get a sense of what is known (and not known) about the provenance of artworks attributed to Waldmüller.

DATASET: Carnegie Museum of Art merged with Github provenances

DATASET: Provenance information gathered from the 2015 CMOA Github merged with information from the Carnegie Museum of Art online collections website

Description: This dataset contains publicly available information originally published online by the Carnegie Museum of Art which has been formatted by OAD as a CSV file for easy download and analysis with digital tools. Many of the artworks in the list also appear on the Nazi Era Provenance Internet Portal (NEPIP). For more recent updates or additional information concerning the artworks, please contact the Carnegie Museum of Art.

The CMOA collections dataset was published on Github by the Carnegie Museum of Art under a Creative Commons CC0 1.0 licence (no copyright). 

It has been enhanced with a NEW URL field in order to link to the CMOA museum website.

Looted Art Detector Tool: Swiss GLAMHACK2021

TRY IT!

Objective: Identify high priority artworks for provenance research

Description: Online Free Digital Tool

URL: https://artdata.pythonanywhere.com

Approach: Automatic text analysis using frequency counts

note: The frequency counts target textual indicators of UNCERTAINTY, UNRELIABILITY,  or ANONYMITY, as well as the possible presence of RED FLAG names related to NAZI-looted art, forced sales and duress sales. 

The resulting calculations do not signify that an artwork is looted. They simply quantify observations concerning the text for further analysis.

How it works: 

"Dutch sources have discovered lists of over 250 items which were shipped to HERBST from Holland" - ALIU CIR 4 DR. HERBST, Dorotheum, Vienna

Question for provenance researchers: Who was Dr. Herbst?

Where do fake art provenances come from?

WARNING: Art historians who cite these sources should know that they contain omissions and outright lies concerning Nazi looted art.

Court cases databases and APIs: art theft and Nazi looted art

Where to find detailed information about lawsuits involving Nazi-looted art?

Lies Provenance Researchers Told

This post aims to collect, little by little, published provenances that have been proven to be false, and, where possible, to specify their authors and publishers.

Why try to identify lies in provenances?

Lying about the fate of artworks owned by Jewish collectors who were persecuted by the Nazis inserts false information into the historical record of the Holocaust. 

For a provenance researcher to do this deliberately is, in my opinion, a grave act of immorality which facilitates Holocaust denial. 

For a provenance researcher to do this "accidentally" is evidence of incompetence, which should be sanctioned and not rewarded by employers and funders.

Readers are invited to add examples of published false provenances in the comments.

False Provenances Concerning Ownership during the Nazi Era by Artist

(read Simon Goodman's The Orpheus Clock on the battle to establish the correct provenance for the Degas looted from his grandfather.)

Marc Chagall

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner

- Provenance errors by Nazi art collector Kurt Feldhäusser and the Museum of Modern Art in New York ("location mixup")

(why did MoMA’s version carry yet another title, “Sand Hills in Engadine”?...MoMA realized Mr. Feldhäusser had mistaken the hills for ones on an island near Denmark while the museum had mistaken them for hills in Switzerland. -WSJ)

Paul Gauguin

Faaturuma (Melancholic)

http://web.archive.org/web/20171220174436/https://art.nelson-atkins.org/objects/18445/faaturuma-melancholic

"The Wildenstein catalogue raisonné of 1964 tentatively suggests that a certain “Dr. Hahnloser, Zurich” owned Faaturuma between Vollard and Wolfensberger. The best-known collectors fitting this description are Arthur Hahnloser (1870-1936) and his brother Emil Hahnloser (1874-1940). However, neither began collecting works by Gauguin until after World War I. As Lukas Gloor notes, “an acquisition by Arthur Hahnloser of Faaturumain 1912 would…have been totally out of sync with Arthur’s collecting behaviour at that time” and “an acquisition by Emil Hahnloser of Faaturuma in 1912 would have been a totally isolated affair”; see e-mail from Lukas Gloor, Director, Sammlung E. G. Bührle, to Brigid Boyle, July 23, 2015, NAMA curatorial files. 

[5] The Wildenstein catalogue raisonné of 1964 claims that Justin K. Thannhauser owned Faaturuma between Wolfensberger and Stransky, but there is no documentary evidence to support this." - (source: Nelson-Atkins museum online provenance text (December 2017))

Additional information provided about the provenance research project at the Albertina Museum by the Kunstdatenbank on its website:

Provenance researcher: Mag.a Julia Eßl

In the Albertina, Maren Gröning carried out provenance research for the period 1938–1960 actively between 1998 and 2000 and as required between 2000 and 2009. During this time, 49 reports regarding 317 works were submitted to the Commission for Provenance Research. Of these, 163 objects were restituted, in addition to a collection of around 3,500 posters (as at October 2009) and the restitution of a further 34 objects was recommended by the Advisory Board pursuant to the Art Restitution Law, Federal Law Gazette 1998/181.

Mag. Julia Eßl and Dr. Pia Schölnberger (until August 2017) have been working as provenance researchers at the Albertina since spring 2011, on behalf of the Commission for Provenance Research. Their task is to build on the research already carried out at an intensified level, by examining all objects which came into the collection between 1933 and the present for their origins and previous owners. In dubious or contentious cases, dossiers are compiled which are subsequently submitted to the Art Restitution Advisory Board, whose task is to advise the Federal Minister of Education, the Arts and Culture on a possible restitution.

Due to the extension of the period to be investigated, the provenance researchers of the Albertina will carry out investigations into the purchases from the German art trade between 1933 and 1938, into all purchases after 1960 and into acquisitions of the library, and a general object autopsy in order to look for indications of provenance on the originals as well as a systematic revision of the entire holdings of the works of Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.
