The Looted Art Claims Project collates, contextualises and assesses partially structured and unstructured archive material data related to European Impressionist & Modern artworks that were stolen, confiscated, seized, looted or subject to forced sale during the period 1933-1945. The database structure significantly improves the capacity to make judgements via the context and weight of evidence contained in records contemporary to the period of confiscation. This for the first time makes it possible to robustly define definitive statements related to the restitution risk profiling of artworks for Private & Institutional Collectors, Specialist Insurance Providers, Auction Houses, Art Dealers and other Art Market Practitioners.
The Looted Art Claims Project has developed security conscious, certified, verifiable and standardised reporting practices and products focused on risk mitigation; directly combating the 'right to own' related risk factors inherent with European Impressionist and Modern Artworks.
