The "Portrait with Daffodils", created in 1905, can be found in the art collection of Sigmund Waldes (1877-1961), who was persecuted as a Jew, in July 1939.

From 2021 to 2023, a collection of around 1400 books, prints and drawings from the former WELLA company museum was examined in a two-year provenance research project.

Since October 2023, the paintings and drawings in the Neess Collection at the Museum Wiesbaden have been examined as part of a two-year project.
