Ein Fass ohne Boden?

Provenienzforschung zu Max Liebermann

A seminar on "Provenance Research on Max Liebermann" offered in cooperation with the Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee at the Department of Digital Provenance Research at the TU Berlin in the winter semester 2021/22 introduced students to the complex research on Nazi-confiscated cultural property. The seminar has taken on the task of discussing methods for questioning the assumptions about the displacement of Liebermann’s work during the Nazi era, which have so far been based exclusively on the experience of individual experts, and for the first time providing quantitative and thus transparent and comprehensible evidence. And thus also to do justice to those fates that we have not yet known about, because those affected did not belong to prominent collector circles. The efficient linking of all the data relevant for researching the objects is one of the major gaps in provenance research.
