Christie's is delighted to announce the second year of the Christie’s Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research, supporting the next generation of provenance researchers in this field. The grant will be offered to four recipients (£5,000 each), to fund forward-thinking academic, post-graduate research into subjects related to Nazi-era provenance research and restitution. In addition, and new in 2024, Christie’s will also offer five grants of £1,000 each to undergraduates who are studying Nazi-era and restitution-related topics, and who may be considering a future career or study in this area, with a view to deepening their interest in the subject. Sarah Done, Senior Director, Restitution commented: “The confiscations, forced sales and looting of artworks during the Nazi-era was an unprecedented theft. Research into personal and cultural loss has grown exponentially over the last 25 years. Without the dedication and tenacity of researchers, it would be almost impossible to uncover and record this history, and to advance restitution efforts. But there is much more to do. That is why, for the second consecutive year, Christie’s is delighted to support the next generation of Nazi-era provenance researchers. The exchange of ideas and engagement with last year’s grant applicants was a rewarding part of our ‘Reflecting on Restitution’ programme, honouring the 25th anniversary of the Washington Principles. We look forward to increasing our support this year.” https://lnkd.in/eavnbBK9 #Christies #restitution #provenanceresearch #arthistory #grants
