This volume reveals the potential effects of interdisciplinary cooperation between the areas of provenance research and art and cultural property law. The art historical articles deal with subjects such as cultural assets from colonial contexts, art looted by the Nazis, and the confiscation of cultural assets in the Soviet occupation zone and in the GDR, as well as questions of methodology. The legal articles address the fundamental questions of legal protection of art and cultural assets, for example the implications in terms of civil law of the new Art and Cultural Property Law.

Gerecht und fair?

The Washington Principles of 1998 call for "just and fair solutions" in handling Nazi-looted art. At that same time, Austria was the only European state to pass its own art restitution law, based on which the Art Restitution Advisory Board has developed a comprehensive practice of recommendation. In Germany, too, the voices calling for a legal solution are growing louder. The practice of the Art Restitution Advisory Board is often seen as a role model there. But does it truly constitute the "just and fair solution" called for? For the first time, the author develops a comprehensive systematisation of this practice, subjects it to a critical analysis in light of the Washington Principles, and thus offers an indispensable comparative perspective for the German restitution debate.

First exhaustive systematisation of the Art Restitution Advisory Board’s practice
Clear guidelines for a “just and fair solution”
Highly relevant for the German restitution debate
