The Art Institute of Chicago
Provenance Bibliography
In light of recent interest, we have reviewed library holdings and other resources on this topic. Below are listed selected monographs and other information sources from the Libraries' collections. These are only a portion of the titles we hold. Others can be found by consulting the catalog under the subjects:

  • Art and War
  • Art Treasures in War
  • World War 1939-1945--Art and the War
  • World War 1939-1945--Confiscations and Contribution and
  • World War 1939-1945--Destruction and Pillage

Periodical literature is excluded from this bibliography, but several key Web addresses are given.

The list of Art Institute paintings and sculptures with gaps in their ownership histories for the period 1933-1945 is available here. Similar lists can be found at the web sites of other museums, such as that of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
