Going Global: New Challenges in the Field of Provenance Research
Schweizerische Asiengesellschaft
Provenance research is not only a central field of museum activity, but has also increasingly become the focus of academic research.
Frank Dillon’s in arabischem Stil eingerichtetes Atelier, in: Georg Ebers, Ägypten in Bild und Wort, vol. 2, Stuttgart and Leipzig: Hallberger 1880, p. 96.
Since the 2018 report edited by Bénédicte Savoy and Felwine Sarr on the restitution of African artworks from French collections, provenance studies have expanded to include an important new aspect: the question of provenance in colonial contexts.
The workshop will provide insights into ongoing research and open the discussion to a wider audience.
