The recently estab- lished collection of Renaissance sculp- ture was then no more than a supple- ment to the antiquities collection. The holdings were few, consisting principally of glazed terracottas by the Florentine Della Robbia family, though they also included Francesco da Sangallo’s relief of the Madonna and the Reading Child (no. 206), which had been purchased from the Bartholdy collection in Rome in 1828. The sculptor Friedrich Tieck, then the director of the sculpture department, published the works in a small cata- logue in 1835, which can be consid- ered the Sculpture Collection’s first publication. The newly founded collection grew notably under Gustav Friedrich Waagen, the first director of the Gemäldegalerie (Picture Gallery), who acquired numerous sculptures in Italy. In 1841/42 he succeeded in buying the Pajaro collection in Venice. His account of the works that had now come to Berlin described the Berlin collection as the largest in the area of Paduan-Venetian sculp- ture. He had purchased “eighty sculp- Fig. 1 tures, most of them large-scale, in Tullio Lombardo, Arms Bearer marble, Istrian limestone, terracotta, From the Tomb of Doge etc.” which came “from the Grimani, Vendramin, photographed Tiepolo, Nani palaces, the recently before the Second World War demolished churches on Murano and Torcello, the dilapidated Scuola San Giovanni in Venice, and so forth”.

The resulting tensely bundled folds of fabric, which are used to emphasize his gesture, match the analogous, though looser, draping structure of Mary’s cloak. The woman, who will give birth to the Son of God, seems to be listening to the angel’s words with her head slightly bowed; her open hands, emerging from her cloak, are also indicative of a receptive response to the message.

The text deals with the institutional and cultural political aspects of Chytil’s career as an art historian, museologist, and lecturer. Keywords: Chytil Karel, art history and historiography, Viennese school, historic preservation, history of museology, Czechoslovakia’s artistic culture, museums of decorative arts Had it not been for a few occasional texts, mainly obituaries and profiles in specialised encyclopedias,1 Karel Chytil2 would lack any kind of recognition. It is all the more surprising that there is still no complex monograph and, at the same time, universal critique as well as fair appreciation, considering how prominent a figure he was in the field of the Czech scientific and artistic culture at the end of the nineteenth and in the first third of the twentieth centuries.

Frankel and Forrest: Museums' Initiation of Declaratory Judgment Actions and Assertion MUSEUMS' INITIATION OF DECLARATORY JUDGMENT ACTIONS AND ASSERTION OF STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS IN RESPONSE TO NAZI-ERA ART RESTITUTION CLAIMS-A DEFENSE Simon J. Frankel and Ethan Forrest* ABSTRACT Since the reunification of Germany brought greater access to information about the history and location of artworks that changed hands during the Nazi era, numerous restitution claims have been asserted to works held by U.S. museums. In a few instances, U.S. museums faced with such claims have initiated declaratoryjudgment actions seeking to quiet title to the works and have also invoked statutes of limitations or laches to bar the claims.

Less than 11 months after the fall of the Berlin Wall, East and West Germany – which as a result of the Sec- ond World War had endured 40 years of separation and confrontation – were now reunited. Even before the official reunification took place, Bauer, like many companies in West Germany, had been very keen to move into the former German Demo- cratic Republic (GDR) firstly in order to expand its markets and, secondly, to assist in the transition from a planned economy to a free market economy. Twenty years on, this Review looks at how Bauer went about this undertaking, returning once again to focus on the early days of the reunification process. The story is told not so much on the basis of documents and records, but rather through the voices of the man- agers responsible for running the busi- ness at the time. Most of them are still in senior management posts today, though some have retired. Witnesses on the Schrobenhausen side who were consulted in compiling the report in- cluded Chairman of the Management Board Thomas Bauer and Heinz Kalten - ecker, as well as Wolfgang Brunner, Alexander Hofer, Josef Goller and Ernst Stümpfle.

  • Copies of Artworks the Case of Paintings and Prints* Françoise
    Copies of Artworks The Case of Paintings and Prints* Françoise Benhamou Université de Rouen and MATISSE, Université de Paris I and Victor Ginsburgh ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles and CORE, Université catholique de Louvain January 2005 Abstract * The paper freely draws on our previous (2001) paper. We are grateful to M. Aarts, Me Cornette de St. Cyr, M. Cornu, D. Delamarre, M. Fouado-Otsuka, Me Lelorier, T. Lenain, M. Melot, O. Meslay, D. Schulmann, B. Steyaert, G. Touzenis, H. Verschuur and S. Weyers for very useful conversations and comments. Neil De Marchi's very careful comments on a preliminary version of the paper at the Princeton Conference led to several changes. We also thank Alvin Huisman (2001) who collected data on auctions 1976-1999. The second author acknowledges financial support from Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique. 1 "We use copies to certify originals, originals to certify copies, then we stand bewildered." Hillel Schwartz Research on copies is essentially focused on industrial activities (books, records, fashion, protection of patents) and on the incentives or disincentives to creativity resulting from copyright.1 But copies are also linked to questions concerned with value, the allocation of property rights, and regulation, three central questions in economics. In his essay on imitation in the arts, Adam Smith (1795) considers that the exact copy of an artwork always deserves less merit than the original.2 But the hierarchy between copies and originals has changed over time. So has the perception of copies by lawyers, philosophers, art historians and curators. The observation of these changes can be used to analyze art tastes and practices.

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).
