Abstract:Modigliani - An Unknown Portrait of a Woman. Purchased by the city of Hanover in 1949 - confiscated in Paris in 1941? In 1949, the regional capital of Hanover purchased 115 works of modern art from the former property of the real estate agent Dr. Conrad Doebbeke (1889-1954) in Berlin in order to fill the gaps in its collections dispersed during the war. This purchase included a portrait of a woman, "Tête de femme", attributed to the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920). Questions of provenance, however, remained open at the time. Due to a lack of sources, the circumstances of the acquisition and the provenance of the undated portrait of a woman could never be conclusively clarified, and since the 1960s its attribution to Modigliani has also been questioned by researchers. According to inventory records preserved in Paris and two historical photographs found in 2018, the painting was part of the holdings unlawfully expropriated in 1941 by the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) in Paris by order of Hermann Göring (1893-1946). As a work of the avant-garde, it was used in exchange as a commodity for foreign exchange management. In 1942, it was sold to Gustav Rochlitz (1889-1972), a German dealer based in Paris. Rochlitz later told the Americans that the painting in question had been lost on its way to Baden-Baden in 1944. The article looks at the surviving documents relating to the confiscation, as well as at the dealer Gustav Rochlitz who was involved in the exchange of the portrait. Questions of attribution and identification are also addressed. Like other works of modern art, it was first presented in the Landesmuseum Hannover in the 1950s and transferred to the Sprengel Museum Hannover on its inception in 1979.
