DATASET: Art Institute of Chicago Provenance texts for artworks created before 1945 and acquired after 1932

 Dataset Name: Enhanced AIC Provenance Research Dataset

Description: This enhanced Provenance dataset has been constructed from  information available on the public internet site of the Art Institute of Chicago 

The dataset focuses on artworks created before 1945 and acquired after 1932. 

It merges the list of artworks on the Nazi Era Provenance Internet Portal with provenance texts published on the AIC's detailed item pages, as well as other artworks not on NEPIP. 

This dataset is intended to facilitate research into Holocaust-era provenance for scholars, art historians and families. 

The original and best source of information concerning provenance remains the Art Institute of Chicago's public website.


Original data sources that were merged to create new dataset:

• Art Institute of Chicago NEPIP list 2017
• Provenance texts published on the Art Institute of Chicago's public website in August 2024

Columns include: Source Url, Artist, Title, Date, Medium, Credit Line, AccNum, Provenance, Exhibitions, Dimensions, Publications, Created before 1945, Acquired after 1932, NEPIP

(Created before 1945, Acquired after 1932, NEPIP are boolean TRUE or FALSE)
