Ziel der Provenienzforschung an der Kunsthalle zu Kiel ist die Identifikation von NS-verfolgungsbedingt entzogenem Kulturgut, um nach Maßgabe der Washingtoner Prinzipen eine Restitution an die rechtmäßi- gen Eigentümer durchzuführen oder im Einvernehmen mit diesen eine „gerechte und faire Lösung“ zu finden. Das Projekt der Provenienzforschung an der Kunsthalle zu Kiel wird von Dr. Annette Weisner geleitet. Bis Ende 2016 war Dr. Peter Thurmann als Sammlungsleiter Gemälde und Skulpturen in das Pro- jekt eingebunden, ab Januar 2017 seine Nachfolgerin, Dr. habil. Regina Göckede. Aufgabe war die Klärung der Provenienzen jener Bestände an Gemälden und Skulpturen, die vor 1945 entstanden sind und ab 1933 Eingang in die Samm- lung der Kunsthalle gefunden haben. 85 Gemälde und neun Skulpturen wurden intensiv erforscht. Ihre Provenienzen waren lückenhaft bis unbekannt. Darüber hinaus konnten einige Werke mit Personen und Körperschaften in Verbindung gebracht werden, die am nationalsozialistischen Kulturgutraub beteiligt waren. Das Deutsche Zentrum Kulturgutverluste (bis 2015 Arbeits- stelle für Provenienzforschung) förderte das Forschungsvorhaben mit der Finanzierung einer

  • Berger ENG Einseitig Künstlerisch
    „One-sidedly Artistic“ Georg Kolbe in the Nazi Era By Ursel Berger 0 One of the most discussed topics concerning Georg Kolbe involves his work and his stance during the Nazi era. These questions have also been at the core of all my research on Kolbe and I have frequently dealt with them in a variety of publications 1 and lectures. Kolbe’s early work and his artistic output from the nineteen twenties are admired and respected. Today, however, a widely held position asserts that his later works lack their innovative power. This view, which I also ascribe to, was not held by most of Kolbe’s contemporaries. In order to comprehend the position of this sculptor as well as his overall historical legacy, it is necessary, indeed crucial, to examine his œuvre from the Nazi era. It is an issue that also extends over and beyond the scope of a single artistic existence and poses the overriding question concerning the role of the artist in a dictatorship. Georg Kolbe was born in 1877 and died in 1947. He lived through 70 years of German history, a time characterized by the gravest of political developments, catastrophes and turning points. He grew up in the German Empire, celebrating his first artistic successes around 1910. While still quite young, he was active (with an artistic mission) in World War I. He enjoyed his greatest successes in the Weimar Republic, especially in the latter half of the nineteen twenties—between hyperinflation and the Great Depression. He was 56 years old when the Nazis came to power in 1933 and 68 years old when World War II ended in 1945.

  • 1 1 December 2009 DRAFT Jonathan Petropoulos Bridges from the Reich: the Importance of Émigré Art Dealers As Reflecte
    Working Paper--Draft 1 December 2009 DRAFT Jonathan Petropoulos Bridges from the Reich: The Importance of Émigré Art Dealers as Reflected in the Case Studies Of Curt Valentin and Otto Kallir-Nirenstein Please permit me to begin with some reflections on my own work on art plunderers in the Third Reich. Back in 1995, I wrote an article about Kajetan Mühlmann titled, “The Importance of the Second Rank.” 1 In this article, I argued that while earlier scholars had completed the pioneering work on the major Nazi leaders, it was now the particular task of our generation to examine the careers of the figures who implemented the regime’s criminal policies. I detailed how in the realm of art plundering, many of the Handlanger had evaded meaningful justice, and how Datenschutz and archival laws in Europe and the United States had prevented historians from reaching a true understanding of these second-rank figures: their roles in the looting bureaucracy, their precise operational strategies, and perhaps most interestingly, their complex motivations. While we have made significant progress with this project in the past decade (and the Austrians, in particular deserve great credit for the research and restitution work accomplished since the 1998 Austrian Restitution Law), there is still much that we do not know. Many American museums still keep their curatorial files closed—despite protestations from researchers (myself included)—and there are records in European archives that are still not accessible.2 In light of the recent international conference on Holocaust-era cultural property in Prague and the resulting Terezin Declaration, as well as the Obama Administration’s appointment of Stuart Eizenstat as the point person regarding these issues, I am cautiously optimistic.

  • A Survey of Anton Von Werner's Proclamation of the German Empire
    A Survey of Anton von Werner’s Proclamation of the German Empire Paintings Berri Bottomley HIST 133A December 11, 2018 1 Anton von Werner (1843-1915), created four images of the proclamation of the German Empire, which took place on January 18, 1871, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles. Von Werner had been summoned to Versailles by the Grand Duke of Baden. He was present and made sketches at the event, and was subsequently commissioned by various members of the court to create various images over time. He appears to have changed the focus of the composition and other details to correspond with the donors’ purposes for each version. The four versions are: 1) The Palace Version (1877), commissioned by the Grand Duke of Baden and other German Princes for Kaiser Wilhelm I’s 80th birthday. It was hung in Berlin’s City Palace but was destroyed in WWII. It is preserved only as a black-and-white photograph.1 2) The Woodcut Version (1880), is identified as a woodcut after a drawing by von Werner and a print is listed as in the Berlin collection at the Archiv für Kunst und Geschichte.2 3) The Zeughaus Version (1882), commissioned by William I for the Hall of Fame of the Prussian Army housed in Berlin’s Zeughaus. The painting was apparently lost at the end of WWII.3 4) The Friedrichsruh Version (1885), commissioned by the Prussian royal family for Bismarck’s 70th birthday. This painting is extant at Bismarck’s former estate in Friedrichsruh.4 Anton von Werner was born in Frankfurt an der Oder in 1843 and apprenticed to a housepainter.5 He won a fellowship to the Academic Institute of Fine Arts in Berlin, and later studied with painter Adolph Schroeder (his future father-in-law) in Karlsruhe.

  • Or Not to Be [Titled]? Art History and Its 'Well-(Un)Known' Masters
    To be [titled] or not to be [titled]? Art history and its ‘well-(un)known’ masters: introductory remarks Julia Trinkert and Reinhard Köpf When examining medieval monuments in Europe, one sooner or later encounters a series of works of art whose stylistic appearance, iconography, motifs and compositions seem to be closely related. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, these works, have led and continue to lead art historical research to interpretation attempts that are intended to describe the obvious, but not certain, connections. This is where the long art-historical methodological tradition of speculative naming begins. Perceptions that cannot be named in more detail become comprehensible through constructs of attribution to persons who can be named. The perhaps newly discovered artistic connections between individual works gain in importance, visibility and attention through the naming. This is appreciated not only by the experts but also by the press, the interested public and, not least, by potential research project sponsors. In addition, the creation of a speculative name often leads to the construction of a personal network of fictitious employees, who can apparently be distinguished hierarchically on the basis of their skills. Secondary groups of works are assigned to possible successors or pupils by style analyses. This framework therefore offers the possibility of moving further works of art into a closer or more distant context. This discussion focuses on this methodology. Scholarly discourse At the turn of the twentieth century, Wilhelm Vöge (1868-1952) and Adolph Goldschmidt (1863-1944) laid the foundations for an art history of the great continental medieval names.

Eesti Kunstimuuseum, Niguliste muuseum. Foto Stanislav Stepaško. Research on Tallinn’s Dance of Death and Mai Lumiste – Questions and Possibilities in the 20th Century* Krista ANDRESON The aim of this article is to focus on the role of Mai Lumiste in the history of researching Tallinn’s Dance of Death, her points of departure, and those of her predecessors, and their methodological bases. When speaking of Lumiste’s contribution, the emphasis has always been on the fact that her positions were based on the technical studies conducted in Moscow between 1962 and 1965, which made the style assessment and iconographic analysis of the work possible for the first time. The literature also reflects the opinion that this research in Moscow confirmed the position that had been accepted until that time, i.e. that the author of the work was Bernt Notke. The following survey focuses on which positions formulated at that time were established on the basis of technical research and which issues still remain unresolved. Tallinn’s Dance of Death (Danse macabre) is undoubtedly the most famous medieval work of art in Estonia. It is a fragment painted on canvas. It is 7.5 metres high and 1.63 metres wide, and depicts 13 figures: the narrator of the story (a preacher) * The article was completed with the help of PUT 107 grant. The author thanks Juta Keevallik for her comprehensive critique of the article.

  • A Moral Persuasion: the Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013
    A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property.
