What can AI bring to Nazi era provenance research? LLMs are good at detecting changes in stories, names that disappear, for example docs.google.com/spreadsheets... #digital #provenanceresearch #patterns

Would appreciate Dr Schumacher’s explanation of this quote from the AIC’s current provenance for Metzinger’s Woman with a Fan: “Probably with Paul Citroen, Wassenaar, by Jan. 15, 1953 [Calendar 1953]; sold through Karl Alexander Legat (1901–1953)” www.artic.edu/artworks/952... #provenance #aic

The Art Institute of Chicago failed to mention the names of the Dutch Jewish owners for decades. Now, as news of restitution spread, AIC has rewritten the provenance. Citroen goes from 0 mentions to 2? Is the story that Citroen REPURCHASED in 1953? www.artic.edu/artworks/952... #provenance #AIC

So disappointing to see Dr. Schuhmacher‘s comments on the Grünbaum Schiele. Chicago Tribune quotes him as saying “In the case of the other artwork, ‘Russian War Prisoner,’ there is zero evidence that it was confiscated or that it was sold under duress under the Nazi period.” archive.ph/MhjwT #Shoah

Art restitution cases often reveal false provenances - wrong dates, owners, titles and events. Why such poor quality? What patterns emerge in the research? We analyzed false provenances with AI and came up with a way of classifying or tagging them #digitaltools #arthistory #loot #patterndetection
