Provenance research has become an integral part of museum practice. In collections of modernist art, this primarily means investigating works that were stolen or extracted under duress from Jewish victims of National Socialism between 1933 and 1945. The exhibition documents the current state of our ongoing research into the holdings of the Berlinische Galerie. Set amid a salon hanging with nearly 40 paintings rarely on display, digital media present the latest findings, gaps in our knowledge and objectives for further enquiry.
