One important topic is the provenance of the works, which in some cases were vilified by the National Socialist regime as “degenerate art”. Which works in this collection are looted art?

Another area of focus will be Bundeskunsthalle, Bonn the biographies of Jewish collectors and artists who were the victims of art theft and the 03.11.2017 - 11.03.2018 Kunstmuseum Bern Holocaust.

He delved deeper into the art of dressing as the opposite sex with his second series, a set of portraits of men posing in high and low drag.

It was found that there is only very patchy provenance information for the forty-two artworks donated in 2000 to the Kirchner Museum Davos by “Rosemarie and Konrad Baumgart-Möller in memory of Ferdinand Möller, Berlin.” Since “Möller” is one of the red-flag names in provenance research, the investigation of this part of the collection was given priority.

  • Three Nazi-Looted Works Bought by Gurlitt Return to Jewish Collector's Heirs -The Art Newspaper
    AiA News-Service NEWS RESTITUTION Three Nazi-looted works bought by Gurlitt return to Jewish collector’s heirs Two paintings by Jean-Louis Forain were discovered in Cornelius Gurlitt’s trove; the third work, by Constantin Guys, was restituted by another family member CATHERINE HICKLEY 23rd January 2020 16:07 GMT Jean-Louis Forain, Dame im Profil (woman in profile) © Mick Vincenz © Kunstmuseum Bern und Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH German Culture Minister Monika Grütters yesterday returned three works looted by the Nazis and acquired by Adolf Hitler’s art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt to the heirs of Armand Dorville, a Jewish lawyer and art patron who fled the German occupation of Paris and died in 1941. Two of the works, a watercolour of a woman in a white dress and an 1881 oil painting showing a woman in profile are by Jean-Louis Forain. They were found in Cornelius Gurlitt’s secret trove of art inherited from his father Hildebrand, a dealer who bought art in France for Hitler’s planned Führermuseum in Linz. Cornelius Gurlitt, an elderly recluse, bequeathed his hoard of more than 1,500 works of art to the Museum of Fine Art in Bern when he died in 2014. The third, a drawing by Constantin Guys, was in the possession of Cornelius’s sister. Her widower passed it to the German government’s provenance researchers for investigation and agreed to return it to the heirs. Jean-Louis Forain, Dame in Weiss (woman in white) © Mick Vincenz © Kunstmuseum Bern und Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland GmbH After Dorville’s death, the paintings were sold at auction in Nice in 1942, but his family never received the revenue.

    AiA news-service The Notorious Collection of Nazi-Looted Art Amassed by Hildebrand Gurlitt Will Travel for a Poignant Show in Jerusalem The show is called "Fateful Choices: Art from the Gurlitt Trove." Sarah Cascone, September 6, 2019 Journalists film, take picture and look at the pieces of a art during the press preview of the first masterpieces of the estate of German collector Cornelius Gurlitt at the Museum of Fine Arts Bern (Kunstmuseum Bern) on July 7, 2017 in Bern. Photo credit should read Valeriano Di Domenico/AFP/Getty Images. The infamous Gurlitt trove—roughly 1,590 artworks that the reclusive Cornelius Gurlitt inherited from his art dealer father, a Nazi collaborator, and kept hidden in his apartment for decades—is coming to Israel. An exhibition of some 100 pieces from the collection, including works by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Édouard Manet, Otto Dix, and Max Ernst, as well as never-before-seen Eugène Delacroix drawings, will go on view at the Israel Museum later this month. Amassed by Hildebrand Gurlitt, the art collection was discovered by German authorities during a 2012 tax investigation. Given the elder Gurlitt’s known work with the Third Reich, the provenance of the works, found in Munich and Salzburg, immediately came into question. How many of them had been sold under duress by Jewish families, or seized outright by the Nazis? The Israel Museum exhibition, titled “Fateful Choices,” marks the first time that works from the Gurlitt hoard have made the trip to Israel. T he show will include Otto Mueller’s Portrait of Maschka Mueller, declared “degenerate” by the Nazis and acquired by Gurlitt in 1941, as well as Dix’s Self Portrait Smoking, seized by the US Army in 1945 and returned to Hildebrand Gurlitt in 1950.

    KELLEY MINOR HISTORIES Statements, Conversations, Proposals MIKE KELLEY edited by John C. Welchman What John C. Welchman calls the “blazing network of focused conflations” from which Mike Kelley’s styles are generated is on display in all its diversity in this second volume of his writings. The first volume, Foul Perfection, contained thematic essays and writings about other artists; this collection concentrates on Kelley’s own work, ranging from texts in “voices” that grew out of scripts for performance pieces to expository critical and autobiographical writings. Minor Histories organizes Kelley’s writings into five sections. “Statements” consists of twenty pieces produced MINOR between 1984 and 2002 (most of which were written to accompany exhibitions), including “Ajax,” which draws on MIKE KELLEY Homeric epic, Colgate-Palmolive advertising, and Longinus to present its eponymous hero; “Some Aesthetic High Points,” an exercise in autobiography that counters the standard artist bio included in catalogs and press releases; and a sequence of “creative writings” that use mass cultural tropes in concert with high art mannerisms—approximating in prose the visu- MINOR HISTORIES al styles that characterize Kelley’s artwork. “Video Statements and Proposals” are introductions to videos made by Kelley and other artists, including Paul McCarthy and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose. “Image-Texts” offers writings that accom- Statements, Conversations, Proposals pany or are part of artworks and installations. This section includes “A Stopgap Measure,” Kelley’s zestful millennial essay in social satire, and “Meet John Doe,” a collage of appropriated texts. The section “Architecture” features a discussion of Kelley’s Educational Complex (1995) and an interview in which he reflects on the role of architecture in his work.

  • Looted Art at Documenta 14 by Eleonora Vratskidou
    ISSN: 2511–7602 Journal for Art Market Studies 2 (2018) A Review: Stories of wheels within wheels: looted art at documenta 14 by Eleonora Vratskidou While dOCUMENTA 13 (2012) reflected on the annihilation of cultural heritage, taking as a starting point the destruction of the two monumental Buddha statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan, by the Taliban in 2001,1 the recent documenta 14 (2017) actively addressed the question of art theft and war spoliations, taking as its point of departure the highly controversial case of the Gurlitt art hoard. The circa 1,500 artworks uncovered in the possession of Cornelius Gurlitt (1934-2014), inherited from his father Hildebrand Gurlitt (1895-1956), one of the official art dealers of the Nazi regime, brought back to the surface aspects of a past that Germany is still in the process of coming to terms with. Initially, the intention of artistic director Adam Szymczyk had been to showcase the then unseen Gurlitt estate in the Neue Galerie in Kassel as part of documenta 14. Revisiting the tensed discussions on the status of the witness with regard to the historical experi- ence of the Holocaust (as addressed by Raul Hilberg, Dori Laub or Claude Lanzmann), Adam Szymczyk, in a conversation with the art historian Alexander Alberro and partici- pant artists Hans Haacke and Maria Eichhorn, reflected on plundered art works as “wit- nessing objects”, which in their material and visual specificity are able to give testament to an act of barbarism almost inexpressible by means of language.2 1 See mainly the text by artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, On the Destruction of Art —or Conflict and Art, or Trauma and the Art of Healing, and the postcript to it, Dario Gamboni’s article World Herit- age: Shield or Target, in the exhibition catalogue edited by Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Katrin Sauer- länder, The Book of Books (Ostfildern: Hatje Cantz, 2012), 282-295, as well as the commissioned project by Michael Rakowitz, What Dust Will Rise (2012).
