G. Cramer Oude Kunst Gallery Records
The archive of the renowned gallery G. Cramer Oude Kunst in The Hague is a rich resource for the study of the international market in old master paintings and may be the only uncensored dealer archive documenting the art market in Nazi-occupied Europe. The gallery's correspondence from 1936 to 1967, including material regarding the firm's dealings with Nazi agents for Adolf Hitler's museum in Linz, is now available for research. The remainder of the collection is still being processed.

The Getty Research Institute: Recent Print Acquisitions
The Bauhaus art school in Germany sought to unify art, craft, and industry. Eight prints from a 1921 portfolio of masters at the Weimar Bauhaus—on display in the exhibition—exemplify the breadth of styles and techniques that the Bauhaus embraced. The complex designs and sometimes whimsical themes of the woodcuts, lithographs, and other types of prints reflect the Bauhaus's theoretical and creative foundations.
Curators will lead gallery tours at 2 p.m. on August 2, 9, 16, and 23.
