Provenance Research & Restitution

Provenance research is much more than compiling ownership lists, it is the careful reconstruction and verification of an artwork's history through primary evidence.

Every letter, invoice, exhibition catalogue, photograph, inventory, gallery record, or archival document contributes another piece to the puzzle. By asking the right questions and verifying every ownership transfer, provenance research promotes transparency, strengthens authenticity studies, supports restitution efforts, and preserves our shared cultural heritage.
