Synopsis "Kunst Und Profit: Museen Und Der Französische Kunstmarkt Im Zweiten Weltkrieg (in German)"
Not only Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring utilized the occupation of France during the Second World War to procure artworks for their collections -- German museums also made acquisitions at the time. The advantageous foreign exchange rate and the large range of artworks, for instance, from seized Jewish property, afforded favorable opportunities. French museums like the Louvre also expanded their holdings during this time. Many purchases by German museums were restituted to France in the postwar period, while some have remained in the collections until today and are first now becoming a focus of research. The essays in the volume from German and French perspectives analyze the similarities and differences in the activities of museums on the French art market during the occupation for the first time.
