Regionaler Kunsthandel: Eine Herausforderung für die Provenienzforschung?

The conference proceedings outline the contributions presented at the online conference of the same name organised by the Bomann Museum in Celle and held on 1 March 2021. Locating sources for provenance research into the regional art trade is often difficult as business records or auction and sales catalogues have not been preserved in most cases. Therefore the central question at the conference was how to achieve the best possible provenance research nevertheless. Individual contributions provide examples from various museums and research projects in northern Germany how this can be accomplished.
