Every 🤢fake provenance 🤢
- for a forgery
- or Holocaust-linked artwork
- or looted antiquity
written or published or commissioned by a museum is
a 🤢falsification of history🤢 by an institution
abusing the trust placed in it by the public.Yet, no effort has been made to track false provenances and the interconnected #networks of #authors, #funders, #publishers, and #disseminators.

The excellent #Digital #Benin site includes a number of #Wikidata identifiers for people involved in the itineraries of the artworks.
This is great for many reasons.One is: we can find information about them and their #networks.
Another is: we can check for #intersections with Nazi-looted #art, #forgeries and #trafficking #digitalhumanities
#DHDigital Benin also shows the different #roles people and organisations had in the transfer of the #African #artworks.
