Tracing the Ludwig and Rosy Fischer Collection
with Dr. Meike Hoffmann, Kunsthistorisches Institut, Freie Universität, Berlin, Germany 

Dr. Meike Hoffmann has written widely on the fate of modern art under the National Socialist regime, including Hitler’s Art Dealer: Hildebrand Gurlitt. At Freie Universität, she leads a provenance research program that engages students in ambitious projects such as contributing to an extensive database of art confiscated from German museums in the 1930s as part of the “Degenerate Art” campaign. Hoffmann recently collaborated with VMFA’s Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, Dr. Sarah Eckhardt, to teach a seminar focused on finding lost works from the original Ludwig and Rosy Fischer collection of German Expressionist art, of which VMFA’s extraordinary portion of 200+ works comprises less than half.
