"Every criminal conspiracy attempts to operate in the shadows. But art trafficking conspiracies in general -- and the Kornfeld-Kallir Conspiracy in particular -- are different from other trafficking conspiracies. And it is this difference that proves that this Kornfeld-Kallir Conspiracy is still ongoing and, therefore, not time-barred from prosecution."

Alfred Flechtheim was one of the greatest #art dealers and art collectors of modern art before the #Nazis came to power.

Unfortunately, he was immediately plundered in 1933. His art dealership was "Aryanized", taken over by Nazi party member Alex Vömel.

Artworks that he is known to have owned are now scattered in #museums around the world.

How complete are the #provenances today?

This video shows a few of the artworks that passed through Flechtheim

When looking at the #provenances of #artworks, it is important to know if a #name belongs to a person who fled Nazi Germany or who was murdered in the Holocaust.
🚩
All too frequently these names are #erased or distorted to conceal the history of the artworks.

Here is a Sparql query that lists 2000+ Jewish emigrants in Wikipedia
(#DBpedia categories that contain the words "Jewish emigrant" links)

The image is the code for a Sparql query in Dbpedia the searches category labels for the words "Jewish Emigrant" and returns a list of more than 2000 individuals

Curious to see the exact itinerary Van Gogh's Fifteen Sunflowers took on its way from the persecuted Jewish collector Paul Mendelssohn-Bartholdy to the walls of a museum in Japan.
What patterns will we see? What names? What omissions in the #provenances

image of Sunflowers:

The painting, “Sunflowers” by Vincent van Gogh, was sold along with other paintings from the collection of Jewish banker Paul von Mendelsohn-Bartholdy in 1934 as Mendelsohn-Bartholdy liquidated his art collection to protect the remainder of his assets from the growing Nazi threat to Jewish business leaders. Mendelsohn-Bartholdy died in 1935.

In 1987, “Sunflowers” was purchased by Sompo Holdings’ predecessor, Yasuda Fire and Marine Insurance Co. for nearly $40 million. It is now on display in Sompo Holdings’ art museum in Tokyo near the company’s office.

In their complaint, Mendelsohn-Bartholdy’s heirs assert that Sompo Holdings’ predecessor “recklessly — if not purposefully — ignored the provenance of Sunflowers that [art dealer] Christie’s published, which related that the famous Jewish Berlin banker and prominent Nazi victim Paul von Mendelssohn-Bartholdy sold the Painting in Berlin in 1934 — at a time when notorious Nazi policies were targeting and dispossessing elite Jewish bankers and businessmen like Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and wreaking havoc upon Germany’s Jewish population.”

Article in Courthouse News:
A Tokyo-based insurance company is alleged to have recklessly or purposefully ignored the history of the painting it has owned since 1987.

Heirs and descendants of a German Jewish banker who sold his extensive art collection in the mid-1930s in the face of the growing Nazi threat filed suit in federal court in Chicago to reclaim possession of one such painting and collect damages from the current owner.

The plaintiffs — Julius H. Schoeps, Britt-Marie Enhoerning, and Florence Von Kesselstatt — claim in a 98-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Tuesday that the current owner, Sompo Holdings Inc., a Japan-based insurance holding company knew the painting was a “casualty of Nazi policies” or was “recklessly indifferent” to the painting’s history.

@lxd Il est magnifique! J'aime particulièrement la note manuscrite en bas, avec la date et le lieu d'achat, ainsi que le nom de l'acheteur... #LivresAnciens #Provenances
