German gallerist Franz Matthiesen at first possessed the job. Per the job's derivation, the paint's possession was transferred to a German financial institution by means of a "pressured sale" in 1934, shortly after the Nazis rose to energy. After that, in 1949, it was acquired confidentially by MoMA, dwelling certainly there for years.

Matthieson's inheritors initially dealt with Mondex in 2018 to work with the issue.
