Meet in the Thomas T. Solley Atrium, first floor
During the Nazi era and World War II, thousands of art objects changed hands—many as a result of looting—and determining an artwork’s whereabouts between 1933 and 1945 is a top priority for most museums. Presented by Jenny McComas, IU Art Museum’s Class of 1949 Curator of Western Art after 1800 and head of the museum’s Nazi-Era Provenance Research Project, this course examines Nazi art looting and the wartime art market, current provenance research resources and initiatives, case studies from the IU Art Museum’s collection, and how provenance research is changing our understanding of art history by bringing to life new facets of an art object’s past.
