Aam Guide to Provenance Research

The first of its kind, this is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for tracing the ownership history of works of art. Focused on cultural property looted by the Nazis and others during WWII, it is divided into three parts: Basic Provenance Research and Principles, Holocaust-Era Provenance Research, and Appendixes, which include bibliographies of collections, dealer archives, and red flag names compiled by the Office of Strategic Services. Includes an index and reproductions of artworks and relevant documents. Written by leading provenance researchers, this title is a must for any collecting institution.
