Section of the AAMD Guidelines relied upon for the exception to 1970
Informed judgement that works were outside of the country of modern discovery before 1970
Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above
Based on the results of provenance research, the Princeton University Art Museum can make an informed judgment that the object was outside its probable country of modern discovery before 1970. The collector maintained a sequential inventory of their collection with the year of each acquisition specified. The accuracy of the list is corroborated by a number of works in the inventory that were either published in other collections prior to the collector’s acquisition date or published or exhibited shortly after the acquisition, in each instance with the appropriate ownership history indicated. According to the inventory, the collector acquired this work in 1965.
