Provenance gaps in artworks: examples from DIA

DIA*

Below are European paintings in the Detroit Institute of Arts Museum collections which illustrate some of the kinds of provenance gaps one can still see today in museum collections.

The first table shows examples of artworks with the words "art market" in the provenance while the second shows artworks with the word "private".

Questions for art history students interested in WWII-era provenance research:

• Who owned these paintings before 1933 and from 1933 to 1945?
• Can you tell from the provenance published on the website of the DIA?
• Some of the provenance texts begin long after 1945. Others begin before 1945 but are missing names and places for long stretches of time, including the years 1933-1945. What action does this suggest might be necessary?
• What can the art historian understand by studying provenance texts in groups?
• Are there certain names that stand out? **
• How many of these artworks appear on the Nazi Era Provenance Internet Portal?
• What kind of work might be necessary to "fill the gaps" in these provenances?
• How should priorities be set in order to focus efforts in the right place?
