Almost three decades since the 1998 Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets, a new awareness of provenance research and practices of restitution has taken hold. This volume brings together voices from academia, museums and the art trade for a critical consideration of these developments, including essays that analyze restitution cases from a legal perspective in the UK, France and Germany, explore provenance as a form of knowledge and through its materiality, and question how international museums and the art market have dealt with provenance and restitution practices in Munich, Vienna, and London. The volume contributes to current debates about the theory and methods of provenance research, today seen as an expanded and multidisciplinary field at the intersection of law, history, anthropology and the art world.A critical look at provenance research and restitutionMultidisciplinary approaches and methodology
