Provenance research has become a hot topic for museums, collectors, dealers and others who are keen to identify works that were looted by the Nazis. But definite answers can be elusive after the passage of so much time.
Elizabeth Gorayeb, Executive Director of the Wildenstein Plattner Institute joined Jane Kallir, President of the Kallir Research Institute, and attorney William L. Charron for a deep dive into the subject. The discussion was moderated by David D’Arcy of The Art Newspaper. This event was brought to you from the Kallir Research Institute in collaboration with the Wildenstein Plattner Institute.
