Provenance controversies involving suspected Nazi-looted art
Galerie Nierendorf has been connected with several disputed provenance cases involving artworks that were previously owned by Jewish collectors or dealers and may have changed hands under Nazi persecution or in its aftermath. The cited works include Oskar Kokoschka’s Two Nudes (Lovers), Max Pechstein’s Zirkusreiter, Franz Marc’s Foxes and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s Marschlandschaft mit rotem Windrad. The cases concern different ownership histories and should not be treated as having identical legal or restitution outcomes.
