7. Tag der Provenienzforschung – Führung mit Cosima Dollansky und Lena Schneider

In the organizer's words:

"The art trade sources at the ZI (Böhler, Weinmüller, Helbing)" - guided tour with Cosima Dollansky and Lena Schneider

The Central Institute for Art History (ZI) is the only non-university research institute for art history in Germany. Since 1947 it has been located in the former NSDAP administration building on Königsplatz. The Central Art Collecting Point (CCP) of the American military government was set up there in 1945 to identify works of art and cultural assets looted, expropriated or confiscated by the National Socialist regime and return them to their rightful owners. The photo cards created at the CCP still form an important basis for provenance research today. For over 15 years, scientists at the ZI have been researching topics such as art theft, relocation of cultural property and expropriated collections. The ZI's library and photo library offer a comprehensive collection of literature and art trade sources, including the object card index and photo folders of the Munich art dealer Julius Böhler as well as hand copies of the auction houses Adolf Weinmüller and Hugo Helbing.

PARTICIPATION: Free of charge, no registration required.
