Christie’s Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research 2026

Christie’s announces the application window is open for the Christie’s Grant for Nazi-era Provenance Research 2026.
 
For the fourth consecutive year, Christie’s is supporting early years academics researching the art losses and spoliation of the Nazi era 1933 - 1945. Thirty years on from seminal publications and initiatives illuminating how Jewish collectors, families, museums, libraries and institutions were robbed of their possessions, either through plunder or state-sanctioned actions, new information continues to come to the fore. Much of this new research is the result of the engagement, mission and commitment of emerging academics and researchers.
 
In 2026, Christie’s is offering 4 grants of £5,000 to current and continuing post-graduate students and 1 grant of £2,000 to an undergraduate student with a developing interest in this field and related future post-graduate studies in mind.  The application process is now open to students in art history or with an interdisciplinary interest in Nazi-era related provenance research. For further information about the application requirements please visit Grant Information | Christie's (www.christies.com/en/services/restitution/grant-information).
 
Applications will be accepted until 10 July 2026 by email to RestitutionGrant@Christies.com.
We welcome you sharing the grant information with your academic community.
