Art Dealers in Provenance: Frederick Mont at the Toledo Museum of Art and LACMA

Art dealers like Frederick Mont played an important role in bringing art to American museums. 


In previous posts we looked at the biography of Frederick Mont, also known as Frederick Mondschein (1894-1994), and mentions of his name in the provenances of artworks that are now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. 

In this post, we look at the provenances of some of the artworks that Mont dealt with that are now in the art collections of the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio and LACMA in Los Angeles.


Several of these provenances exhibit gaps in the years 1933-1945.

For more on artworks handled by Frederick Mont and what it means to find his name in the provenance of an artwork, see:









Born in Vienna in 1894 as Fritz Adolf Mondschein, the art dealer owned and directed the Galerie Sanct Lucas. He was closely connected to the dealer Victor Spark (1898-1991) and the Newhouse Galleries. He emigrated to the United States in the 1930s.
