Wenn Bilder sprechen: Provenienzforschung zu Max Liebermann und seinem Netzwerk
Thanks to financial support from the German Lost Art Foundation, since 2020 the Liebermann-Villa in Berlin has been able to conduct a provenance research project into its permanent collection, with a particular focus on cultural objects displaced as a result of National Socialist persecution. This volume results from the 2021 conference “Provenance Research, Max Liebermann and his Network. Reports from the Field” staged in collaboration with the Technische Universität Berlin. The book is published on the occasion of the exhibition “When Pictures Speak. Provenance Research in the Collection of the Liebermann-Villa” (Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee, October 2022 to March 2023). The volume explores, among other themes, provenance research into Max Liebermann and his network in archives, on the art market, in museums and in academia.
Fair und gerecht? Restitution und Provenienz im Kunstmarkt. Praxis – Probleme – Perspektiven
For the first time in October 2019 the symposium held in Munich shed light on the historically and legally complex topic of Nazi looted art, restitution and provenance from the perspective of the art trade. The conference provided insights into the practice of the established art trade, which stands up for the mediation and preservation of cultural goods on a high level of expertise and responsibility. The publication on the conference "Fair and just?" includes all lectures and discussion rounds of the event. Against the backdrop of the legal-moral tension renowned lawyers, provenance researchers and art dealers examined various best-practice solutions with the aim of enabling the art trade to continue to work in the future.
