"The Monuments Men Foundation for the Preservation of Art became involved in investigating the painting's provenance for the Emdens. In a statement to the Houston Chronicle, the organization said the museum's director in 2021 falsely denied the Bellotto in the collection as a the one the Emdens are seeking but said at that same time "the (museum’s) own website listed both Max Emden, and Karl Haberstock, Hitler’s main art buyer, in the chain of title.""

"Experts later traced the painting back to the 18th century where they identified two prior French owners. But the painting was mistakenly thought to have been in a private collection for more than 100 years until the 1983 sale at Christie’s.Actually, as referenced in the Met’s new provenance for the work, it was held in a private collection in Britain in the mid-1920s when Mr. Aram bought it."

"Boies often drew curt replies of “I don’t know” from museum officials when he asked repeatedly if they could explain how the painting arrived in the United States and why, when Thyssen-Bornemisza bought it from a New York dealer, he didn’t seem to know who the seller was. Also why, in one document, the baron indicated the transaction took place in Paris when it really happened in New York.“Sometimes an error is just an error,” one of the museum’s provenance experts, Laurie Stein, said of the Paris-New York discrepancy."

"“When the German art dealer received the Emden 1025 Pirna, he created a false provenance to make the work marketable and removed identifying labels from the back of the painting and frame that would have shown Emden’s prior ownership and the Führermuseum’s subsequent possession,” the lawsuit says. “In 1952, the dealer sold the Emden 1025 Pirna under the false provenance to a prominent U.S. collector.”" (language: en)

"Kapoor, 72, was renowned among New York dealers for his ability to procure museum-quality goods until his initial arrest on trafficking charges in 2011 in Germany. Subsequent investigations revealed the scope of his criminal dealings. Some 2,600 objects—smuggled from Afghanistan, Cambodia, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Thailand using false provenance papers—were confiscated from several storage locations owned by Kapoor in New York City. Thousands more are still missing." (language: en)

"But in total 19 of these, formerly very rare, Alexander decadrachms were sold - 11 of them by Roma Numismatics - with the provenance of the coins listed as either "from a private Canadian collection" or "ex-private European collection".In 2019, the BBC approached Beale at his office in London and challenged him directly about the provenances for the decadrachms listed on Roma Numismatics' auction site. The BBC informed Beale that it suspected the coins had come from the "Gaza Hoard", which meant that it was illegal to sell them.Auction houses are expected to carry out due diligence to establish a coin's provenance."

"The heirs claimed in the lawsuit that the painting was in the possession of Julius Böhler (no relation), a Munich dealer who, according to American authorities in 1946, was implicated in art looting. They said Sotheby’s “misled the public,” tracing the provenance through the wrong gallery, “perpetuating the very cycle of injustice and exploitation that began in 1938 and that the international and national restitution laws and policies were designed to prevent.”Sotheby’s is pleading “human error.”" (language: en)

"A more bizarre assemblage of omissions, misspellings and mysterious documentation could hardly be imagined. While the catalogue devoted paragraphs to the pedigrees of Chrysler’s many acknowledged masterpieces—when they were painted, what collectors had owned them, when and where they had been sold, and what scholarly publications had mentioned or reproduced them—scores of paintings simply had a couple of lines giving date and gallery of purchase. A few of these paintings came from Manhattan Dealer Harry B. Yotnakparian, who simply let Chrysler make whatever attribution he wanted to on the assumption that a collector of such experience would surely know what he was doing. The vast majority of suspect paintings came from another Manhattan dealer named Joly Hartert." (language: en)

"Helene says that she came up with the fake history on the spot after a Christie’s expert asked her to explain the provenance of Girl with Swan, purportedly by Heinrich Campendonk. “I hadn’t planned anything,” she insists. But the Jägers story “made sense. My grandfather had his business in Cologne. Flechtheim had a gallery in Cologne. My grandfather lived in Krefeld, and so did the artist. So I could easily say they were all connected.” To lend her account credibility, Wolfgang staged a black-and-white photograph of Helene impersonating her grandmother, Josefine Jägers. Wearing a black dress and a strand of pearls, “Josefine” posed in front of several paintings from the “Jägers collection.”" (language: en)
