Provenance Research
The Vancouver Art Gallery is committed to researching the provenance (or history of ownership) of works in the collection. In response to the Guidelines Governing the Unlawful Appropriation of Objects during the Nazi Era—adopted by the Association of Art Museum Directors and the Canadian Art Museum Directors Organization—the Gallery is particularly interested in tracking the ownership history of European art from the period of 1933 to 1945.
