'The very best in class' - there is nothing more to say 

Farewell to the irreplaceable Jussi Pylkkanen.

❗❗ Announcing the Recipients of the 2023 Christie's Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research❗❗

Christie’s is delighted to award a grant to three outstanding ‘next generation’ post-graduate researchers: Katharina Hüls-Valenti, Tamara Kohn and Aurora Wilson Dyer Gough.  

Restitution-focused research remains a vibrant and necessary endeavour for the artworld to address the losses of the Nazi-era and these three grant recipients will help to shed additional light on it by researching the following areas: the fate of Jewish art collections in Italy under the Fascist regime; the provenance of German Judaica and books given to Argentina by the Jewish Restitution Successor Organization; and the fate of so-called degenerate artworks by Edward Munch. 

Congratulations to Katharina, Tamara and Aurora from the global Christie’s Restitution team. Read more using the link below;

Huge thanks to Christie's for hosting us this week, we’re so excited to work with you to support the growth of emerging talent within the arts!  

Special thanks to Alexandra Reid, Toby Monk and Daniel Etherton for bringing this partnership to life, and of course to Erica Bolton for championing our move into the Arts.
