Berlin’s Free University launches “Degenerate Art” database

The “Degenerate Art” Research Center, Art History Institute at the Freie Universität Berlin now hosts a database that documents the fate of over 21,000 works of art deemed “Entartete Kunst” (Degenerate Art) and confiscated by the Nazis in 1937. The database is searchable by artist, title, object type, current repository and specific Nazi-era exhibitions. Many records have images and extensive information about each work of art, its provenance and related literature.  The database, which went live on April 21, is only in German but it appears the Research Center is working on an English version.
