'Le Catalogue Goering'
October 4 2015
Picture: Amazon
I recently ordered a copy of a new book on Goering's 'collection' of looted art. It's the sort of book anyone doing provenance research needs to have, not least because of the sheer scale of Goering's looting. The book is useful in that it is illustrated and is a simple transcription of the inventory kept by Goering himself. But it is maddeningly un-useful in the fact that it has no index, and nor are the artists listed alphabetically.
Still, I recommend it. Although quite why this material is not already online somewhere is a mystery.
