A Rodin drawing, "Atlas", brush and peon in violet ink, on paper, c. 8 x 5,2 em, framed No. w~E 197'l/59 (photographs attached), is missing from the Central Collecting Point, ieabaden. It waa in the collection of the art dealer Gurlitt at Haaburg and was received at iiesbaden from Bamberg 5 Dec 45. 2 . The German employee who checked the packing of the objects restituted to France and shipped to Baden Baden on 24 and ~5 May 46, states that thia drawing was on the rack with the French objects, and that she accor·dingly hat it packed with them, though it was not named on the list of objects to be shipped. j . It is thus ponsible that the drawing may have been sent to Baden-Baden, though it doea not appear on the receipts or the packing lists. The boxes in one of which it is moat likely to be are Bos. 3 and 4 (Collection Philipp Frank), 8 (Collection Frankfurt st~dtiache Galerie, No.~), 14 (Collection Jrankfurt Stadel Kunstinstitut, No.1) or ~3 (Collection Heil bronn No .5). 4. It is requested that, when the boxes of the Wiesbaden shipment arrive in Paria and are unpacked, a aearch be made for this drawing and Lt. Lovegrove informed if it is found. If Lt. Lovegrove is no longer in Paria, it is requested that Capt. Standen be contacted at Wiesbadon (Telephone iesbaden 8892; addresa, Capt. E.A.

Gurlitt, DUss eldorf, and as witnesses Dr. Krause and Herr Pahl-Rugenstein, visited the Centrv.l ColleciZg Point. The collection of pai ntings has been s hovm to them, ~ further a complete list of every i tem be longing to the Gurlitt col l ect ion was handed over to hi m. It was stat ed that he provides us for each item proof of owne r sh ip, wi th t he excepti on of the painti ngs and s ketches made by his g r c~dfa ther Louis Gurli tt. The gener a l impress i on I got from Mr. Gurlitt i s, that he doea n ot seem ver y open-he a rted. When showin g him both Degas i n t he office I also tried to learnd someth i rLg a bout t h e Renoi r "Child ' s Hea d. He saida "Oh yes, yes, that is r:1ine"• Afterwards Dr. Krause r J.a de a ~mark likea "I cannot remember t hat". When we returned into the ~fice Gurlitt went ag ~ in to look a t the Renoir, turned the painting round and seeir~ t he label of Ettle saida "No, it does not belong to me." I ma de my excuses for having him ~~d this painting. ~ ~ When \',e s tarted i nspectirJ8 t he gallery I firs t picked out a picture of the S te tt ~ Gal l ery. He made no def inite s tat ement a bout i t, but said: "0h, yes , t hat is all right" (He di dn't s t a t e t r.at it wa.s his own picture, but also didn't ref use it definitely). ShoWi l"~ him the Picass o he made s ome remarks of no importance givir~ the impression that he did not expect this picture either. But l1e recognized i t a s hie property. Af t E:! rwa r ds, when the inspect ion wus over, he .twice went back f or a s hort moment t o the Pica s s o picture and looked at it.

Eine ganaue Kontrolle unaerer Akten ergab, daa niemal• eine derartige Plastik aurch den Collecting Point Wieabaden empfangen wurde . Ihre Sachen wurden zuaammen mit den in Sohloae Aachbaoh ausgelagerten Kunstgegenetanden anderer EigentUmer naoh Bam berg in die Neue Residenz UberfUhrt und von dort aua naoh Wiesbaden gebracht. Bia zur Ubernahme duroh d ie Amerikaniaohen Dienatetellen stand das Depot Schloss Aaoh bacb unter Aufsioht einea Berrn Zingraf. In Bamberg war der damalige Hauameister der Neuen Residenz verantwortlich. Die anderen EigentUmer von in Sohlosa Aachbach ausgelagerten Gegenstanden, welch• ebenfalla duroh die Amerikanischen Instanzen abtransportiert wurden, haben • nicht feetatellen k~nnen, daB von ihrem Eigentum etwaa ver sohwunden 1st. Wir nehmen daher an, daB vielleioht Ihre Rodin Pl aatik sich garnicht dort befunden hat, bzw. aohon vorher ver schwunden ist. Da die damalige Hil.f'sdienetetelle bereits seit geraumer Zeit geechloseen 1st und wir una auoh im AbachluBatadium unserer Arbeiten befinden, sind wir leider nicht mehr in dar Lage die Namen dar Traneportbegleiter von damals featzustellen, da die Akten bereits verpaokt und abtransportiert worden sind.
