Our provenance research team aims to reconstruct the history of each artwork as comprehensively as possible, especially for the period from 1933 to 1945. By locating relevant sources, organising them systematically and bringing together all available information, we reconstruct the most coherent provenance possible.

Provenance Research
The provenance of a work of art is crucial, and it can significantly enhance its value. Meticulous research into a piece’s history is an important aspect of our work that contributes to transparency, security and trust.

Bio
Our expertise
As an independent specialist, Isabel von Klitzing leads the provenance team at Grisebach which includes Dr Nadine Bauer and Susanne Baunach.
Each of them contributes their academic training and expertise, many years of experience, and an excellent professional network in the field of provenance research and restitution.
In many cases regarding objects with a tainted provenance, we have been able to broker an amicable settlement between the relevant consignors and claimants, and gone on to successfully sell the respective artwork.
Our service
Regardless of whether clients are considering a sale, we offer the opportunity to have the provenance of their artworks professionally researched. You are welcome to arrange a personal and confidential consultation with us.
