The Alsdorfs were major patrons of the Chicago museum, donating $20 million to the Art Institute over the course of their collecting careers. James Alsdorf, heir to a manufacturing business, served as the museum’s chairman in the 1970s; Marilynn served as a trustee on multiple committees, including the Women’s Board. In 2006, the couple endowed a curatorial position focused on Indian and Southeast Asian art at the museum. (English)

According to the investigation, at least nine objects that once passed through the hands of Chicago collectors James and Marilynn Alsdorf, who died in 1990 and in 2019, respectively, have been returned to their origin countries after research efforts involving the Chicago museum. (English)

Correction: July 29, 2006 A picture caption on Tuesday with an article about a survey of museums’ efforts to research the provenance of certain artworks in their collections misspelled the title of a painting owned by the Art Institute of Chicago. It is “The Rock of Hautepierre” (about 1869) by Courbet, not “The Rock at Hautpierre.’’ The caption also referred imprecisely to the way in which the work left the possession of a previous owner. It was sold at auction in Berlin in March 1935 by Max Silberberg, a Jewish industrialist from Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland) in a transaction that both current German law and restitution experts say was forced upon him by the Nazis; the painting was not taken directly from him by the Nazis. (Mr. Silberberg died in the Holocaust; the Art Institute acquired the painting in 1967 from a New York gallery. In 2001 the institute negotiated a pact with Mr. Silberberg’s sole living heir that allowed the museum to keep the work; the terms were not disclosed.) (English)

The American Association of Museums says that during the past 12 years, 30 claims for Holocaust-looted art have been reported in the U.S. In one instance, the Art Institute of Chicago agreed with Greta Silberberg, who, as the heir to the original owner of Gustave Courbet's "Rock at Hautepierre", made a 2001 claim on the work.The A.I.C. retained the painting as a part of its permanent collection after paying an undisclosed sum to Silberberg's family.
