(P1683) "The Gurlitt Prove­nance Re­search Project was es­tab­lished as a fol­low-on project to the Schwabing Art Trove Task­force and ran un­til De­cem­ber 31, 2017. It re­searched the ori­gins (prove­nance) of the art­works that had been found at the homes of Cor­nelius Gurlitt (1932–2014) since 2012.A large num­ber of writ­ten doc­u­ments from Gurlitt’s es­tate were al­so list­ed in an in­ven­to­ry and made ac­ces­si­ble.The aim of the prove­nance re­search was to clar­i­fy the his­toric own­er­ship sta­tus of the sus­pi­cious art­works in or­der to es­tab­lish whether any of them were Nazi-con­fis­cat­ed prop­er­ty and, if so, from whom they had been tak­en.The re­search work was con­duct­ed based on the agree­ment signed by the Fed­er­al gov­ern­ment, the Free State of Bavaria and the Kun­st­mu­se­um Bern Foun­da­tion(agree­ment) in 2014.The Ger­man Lost Art Foun­da­tion was the body re­spon­si­ble for the project be­tween Jan­uary 1, 2016 and De­cem­ber 31, 2017. The project was fund­ed by the Fed­er­al Gov­ern­ment Com­mis­sion­er for Cul­ture and the Me­dia." (language: en)

(P1683) "The Schwabing Art Trove Task­force was set up in Novem­ber 2013 fol­low­ing the dis­cov­ery of a hoard of art­works at the homes of Cor­nelius Gurlitt. It con­tin­ued its work un­til De­cem­ber 31, 2015.Be­cause Cor­nelius Gurlitt’s fa­ther, Dr. Hilde­brand Gurlitt (1895–1956), had been com­mis­sioned as an art deal­er dur­ing the Nazi pe­ri­od to “dis­pose” of “de­gen­er­ate art­works” and had al­so been one of the main art buy­ers for Nazi lead­ers, it was con­sid­ered nec­es­sary to ex­am­ine the ori­gins of the art­works in his col­lec­tion.In April 2014, Cor­nelius Gurlitt signed an agree­ment with the Ger­man gov­ern­ment and the Free State of Bavaria in which he agreed to al­low prove­nance re­search work to be car­ried out and to help find just and fair so­lu­tions, par­tic­u­lar­ly the resti­tu­tion of Nazi-con­fis­cat­ed prop­er­ty in ac­cor­dance with the Ger­man ver­sion of the Wash­ing­ton Prin­ci­ples on the ba­sis of the Joint Dec­la­ra­tion. Be­fore he died in May 2014, Cor­nelius Gurlitt named the Kun­st­mu­se­um Bern Foun­da­tion as his sole heir. In Novem­ber 2014, the Foun­da­tion af­firmed its com­mit­ment to a com­pre­hen­sive and trans­par­ent in­ves­ti­ga­tion in­to the ori­gins of the art­works and, where ap­pro­pri­ate, to resti­tu­tion in ac­cor­dance with the Wash­ing­ton Prin­ci­ples."
