Provenance research and collection
Provenance research into the Nannen donation pointed to some problematic artworks. An artwork from the Ismar Littmann art collection, which had confiscated by the Gestapo, was restituted. In 2002 a settlement was reached with the heirs of Elisabeth Bamberger concerning the painting Bauernhof by Emil Nolde. In fleeing Nazi Germany, Bamberger had placed her painting for safekeeping with her cantor, Mr. Wurzburger, who, along with his wife, was murdered by Nazis in the Holocaust and their possessions seized by the Gestapo. The reappeared in the Kuntshalle in Emden, where" it arrived as a bequest from the Henri Nannen Foundation".
