# Provenance Research

The Belvedere's provenance research team examines all works of art created before 1945 and acquired since 1933 systematically due to the 1998‘s Austrian Art Restitution Act. The collection includes roughly 5,400 paintings, sculptures, and graphic works. Since 1999 numerous dossiers have been submitted to the Art Restitution Advisory Board as well as a report concerning holdings of the library and a preliminary overall report. This research work is not to be finalized yet.

## Provenance Dossiers 

The provenance dossiers drawn up by the Belvedere are sent to the [Commission for Provenance Research](https://provenienzforschung.gv.at/en/) in the Federal Monuments Office and from there to the Art Restitution Committee in the Federal Chancellery, which issues recommendations regarding the restitution of works of art.

It recommended restitution in 48 cases concerning 72 works of art and 6 publications. 60 of these works have been handed back to the descendants of the former owners as well as the publications. The remainder will remain in the museum until the rightful heirs can be identified.

In 15 cases involving 28 works of art, the Committee advised against restitution. Among these were the 5 Klimt pictures from the Bloch-Bauer collection, which have subsequently been restituted, and also Edvard Munch’s Summer Night at the Beach from the Mahler-Werfel collection. In this latter case, the Committee reversed its negative decision of 1999 and on November 8, 2006 recommended that it be restituted to the heiress, to whom the painting was returned on May 9, 2007. The Comitee meeting on March 6, 2015 could not recommend the restitution of the Beethovenfries by Gustav Klimt from the Lederer collection.

## Provenance Database 

Provenance research is processed through the museum's in-house database, which provides an object-related overview of archive and literature searches.

The reviewed works are categorized as follows:

- “uncritical”
- “questionable”
- “unresolved – no indication of questionability”
- “unresolved”.

**Classification in categories according to Art Restitution Act**

"Uncritical" indicates that the chronology of ownership can be traced end-to-end. Even if the work of art had been confiscated from Jewish property between 1938 and 1945, it was returned to its original owners after the war and properly acquired by the Belvedere.

"Questionable" is the term used by the Belvedere provenance research team to describe acquisitions as defined in § 1 of the Art Restitution Act. This article refers to works of art which

1. were subject to restitution to either the original owners or their legal successors, but could not be exported under the Export Prohibition Act of 1919 and subsequently passed gratuitously into the ownership of the Federation.
2. although lawfully transferred into the ownership of the Federation, had previously been the subject of a legal transaction within the scope of the Annulment Act from 1946 and are still in possession of the Federation.
3. had not been returned to their original owner or their legal successors after conclusions of restitution proceedings and therefore are still held by the Federation as “property without heirs.”

The category "unresolved – no indication of questionability" refers to art objects which can be plausibly assumed to have been acquired lawfully and do not originate from expropriated Jewish property, though a potential confiscation could not be ruled out with absolute certainty.

"Unresolved" indicates that the artwork in question currently lacks sufficient information to determine its provenance. There are no indications that the work is questionable, and no evidence that it is uncritical. This applies especially to acquisitions from the art trade from the years 1938 to 1945 and the post-war era.
