Machine-translated – pending human review.
This panel addresses the status quo and the prospects for repositioning provenance research within the art market. Central to the discussion is the question of how transparency and best practice can be reconciled with commercial practice and requirements of discretion.
The aim is to provide insight into the practical work of the art trade and to foster critical exchange, among others, with representatives of public institutions. Historical art-trade sources form a bridge between these groups of actors.
Two case studies open the panel: the case of Max Klinger demonstrates a successful path to restitution through cooperative “research-splitting” between the art market and museums. The Durieux/Katzenellenbogen collections bring into focus complex changes of ownership, multiple instances of persecution, and the role of private sources.
A moderated round table discusses the opportunities and limits of open cooperation between data protection, economic viability, and time pressure.
