Artworks that were located in conflict areas during periods of unrest run the risk of having been illegally removed from their place of ownership by oppressors, looters, or other ill begotten means. During World War II, European paintings experienced a high rate of theft and illegal sale perpetrated by the Nazi Regime. It is particularly critical for museums to have clear provenance history for such artworks between the period of 1933 to 1945. According to the guidelines established by AAMD and AAM, museums have been charged with identifying European paintings with incomplete or questionable provenance during the Nazi era and making this information publicly available. In such, the Indianapolis Museum of Art has thoroughly engaged with scholarship and available resources to ensure the works in the collection have clear title and were ethical collected following this period of turmoil, forced sale, and looting in Europe. Research is ongoing in this area; please contact IMA collections should you have contributions to the provenance of this collection.
