The Gurlitt art trove at the Federal Arts Administration
Five works of unclarified provenance remained in the possession of the Federal Republic of Germany after the Museum of Fine Arts Bern Foundation exercised its right of choice: these were transferred to the holdings of the Federal Arts Administration (KVdB). They can be viewed in the KVdB’s Provenienzdatenbank.Bund. They are also posted as found-object reports in the German Lost Art Foundation’s Lost Art Database.
