European & American Art Provenance Project
1933–1945

Alfred Sisley, Un sentier aux Sablons, 1883, a Millennium Gift of Sara Lee Corporation 2000
Our investigation into the provenance of every artwork presumed to have been in Europe between 1933 and 1945 – the years of Nazi rule and occupation – continues.
Gaps in the provenance of these works do not imply that the work was stolen, rather that it is still not known for certain who held the work between 1933 and 1945.
You can find out about known provenance, including date of change of ownership (where available), of these works here.
Do you have information about any of these works?
We would love to hear from you. To share your knowledge, please email us at provenance@nga.gov.au.
