Lynn Rother, Se­nior Prove­nance Spe­cial­ist at the Mu­se­um of Mod­ern Art, New York, de­scribes the trans­ac­tion in which the State of Prus­sia bought more than 4,000 art­works from the Dres­d­ner Bank for the Berlin mu­se­ums for the huge sum of 7.5 mil­lion Re­ichs­marks on Au­gust 15, 1935. The trans­ac­tion is ex­plored here for the first time from an art his­tor­i­cal and bank­ing per­spec­tive. To this day, nu­mer­ous works of art with Dres­d­ner Bank prove­nance can be found in both pub­lic and pri­vate col­lec­tions and—know­ing­ly or un­know­ing­ly - con­tin­ue to cir­cu­late on the art mar­ket.
