Provenance research

Researching the collection of the Max Liebermann Society

Thanks to a funding from the German Lost Art Foundation, the Liebermann Villa started a project in December 2020 to research the provenance history of the Max Liebermann Society collection.

The aim of the project is to investigate the provenance of 73 artworks from the collection, 71 of which are by Max Liebermann. The works to be investigated were acquired or donated to the museum between 1995 and 2013, and comprise oil paintings, drawings, pastels, watercolors, and prints.

About the Project

The funding enables the Liebermann Villa, as a private museum, to actively participate in NS-era provenance research and to work towards fair and just solutions.
