Private collecting, nationalized trade and the confiscation of cultural assets in the GDR<\/strong><\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1741009440440{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]Works of art and antiques were exported from the German Democratic Republic to the \u201cWest\u201d in order to earn foreign currency. Uncovering the extent of these exports was one of the central themes of the peaceful and democratic upheavals at the turn of the years 1989\/90. What findings has research produced to date? How did the systematic recording of art and cultural assets work in order to remove them from private ownership and offer them on the \u201cWestern Art Market”? What challenges do provenance research and restitution practices face throughout Germany and abroad?[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”12811″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=”.vc_custom_1741006984831{padding-right: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Selection of business documents of Kunst und Antiquit\u00e4ten GmbH from the BArch DL 210 \/ Deutsches Zentrum f\u00fcr Kulturgutverluste<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1741009511040{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]In 1956, the first state art dealership was founded in East Berlin and the GDR with the aim of offering old and new works of art for sale and organizing changing exhibitions. However, this ambitious project concealed a profound cultural policy dilemma. How could art be traded \u201con a real economic basis\u201d with special consideration for valuable works of art and at the same time do justice to the individual interests of art collectors in a centrally planned and controlled system?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1741009499397{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]The cultural policy dilemma of the GDR was further exacerbated by the fact that, on the one hand, valuable art and cultural assets were regarded as inalienable \u201cnational property\u201d, while on the other, not everything from expropriated private art holdings was recognized and appreciated as part of the national cultural heritage. These tensions increased when the export of art and antiquities was stepped up in order to obtain foreign currency and private collectors were increasingly exposed to discrimination and criminalization measures.<\/p>\n

In his lecture, Dr. Uwe Hartmann sheds light on the challenges and complex framework conditions of the art market in the GDR and discusses the politically motivated seizure and expropriation of art collections.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_single_image image=”12807″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=”.vc_custom_1741006605530{padding-right: 25px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=””]Book cover \u201eEnteignet, entzogen, verkauft\u201c, De Gruyter, Berlin 2022.<\/em>
