The interview: Provenance researcher Lynn Rother interviewed by Claudia Christophersen

Press/Media

 

Where does the art on display in museums come from? What is the history of origin of paintings and art objects? Usually there are expert opinions on this. But there are numerous works whose provenance is incomplete and questionable. In such cases, art can become a whodunit.

Lynn Rother, a lawyer, business economist and art historian, has a great nose for art questions. Since last autumn, she has held the first professorship for provenance research at Leuphana University in Lüneburg.
