Pictures often tell stories. But pictures also have a story
themselves when they have passed through many hands on their way
into a museum. The author, who supports his views with the results
of relevant provenance research, goes on a search for traces of
these descriptions of the lives of artworks from the
Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne: the city of Cologne thus had to
litigate against the daughter of Hermann Goering for nineteen years
in connection with a painting by Cranach; a high price had to be
paid for the acquisition of another painting because it was not
wanted as a gift; and a courageous museum director made his
acquisitions of art despite great resistance. In this book for all
museum visitors and readers who would like to learn more about the
exhibits, the stories behind the pictures come to life.
