Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Hedwig Ullmann" in English language version.
Frühling im Gebirge/Kinderreigen by Hans Thoma was acquired by the Jewish collector couple Albert and Hedwig Ullmann when they bought the Villa Gerlach estate in Frankfurt am Main at the end of the 19th century, in a deal that included the property's inventory of artworks. Following her husband's death in 1912, Hedwig Ullmann was forced to sell her art collection under duress amid the Nazi persecution of Jews before fleeing Germany in 1938. The artwork was subsequently bought at auction by the son of founder August Oetker and chief executive at the time Rudolf-August Oetker in 1954.
This episode of Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast is dedicated to Vase with Carnations by Vincent Van Gogh, now in the Detroit Institute of Arts and once in the collection of Hedwig Ullmann of Frankfurt, until she was forced to flee Germany and sell her art collection. The painting is not an important work of Van Gogh and languished in storage in Detroit for years as a painting of little artistic value. Yet when the Ullmann family found it, Detroit fought tooth and nail to keep it and now sells 'Vase with Carnations' soap and socks in its museum shop. He explores how the provenance hid the painting's real history and why Detroit behaved as it did.
Verkauf von Teilen der Kunstsammlung zur Finanzierung der Reichsfluchtsteuer und Judenvermögensabgabe.(1938)
Albert Ullmann died in 1912 and left behind his widow and their two sons, who had to flee Germany for Italy during the 1930s due to Nazi persecution. By decree in 1938, the Nazi regime required all Jews who resided within the Reich, or who were nationals of the Reich and held assets above a certain value, to register these assets. Hedwig Ullmann and her two adult sons was forced to do so in 1938 in Milan and, as a result, lost substantial parts of their art collection. In 1939, Hedwig and her sons fled Europe and settled in Melbourne, Australia.
