Jacques Schuhmacher has been appointed as the head of the provenance research team at the Art Institute of Chicago, a dedicated in-house team established in 2020. Previously the senior provenance research curator at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, Schuhmacher now leads one of the largest provenance research teams in the United States, which includes four full-time researchers and is supported by a senior leadership task force and a dedicated research budget.

Victoria & Albert Museum to expand Gilbert Galleries to explore looting and provenance

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London will revamp its Gilbert Galleries, dedicated to the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection, expanding from four to seven galleries. Set to open in March, the redesigned space by Citizens Design Bureau will include a new room focused on Nazi and Soviet looting and provenance research. Highlights include 200 gold boxes, micro-mosaics, and two silver-gilt gates looted from Kyiv’s Pechersk Lavra monastery after the Russian Revolution, acquired by William Randolph Hearst in 1935. The expansion is part of the V&A’s Future Plan development programme, funded by the Gilbert Trust for the Arts and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
