Description du projet

The aim of this program is to support scientific work proposing innovative research axes and opening new perspectives for art history.

Topics such as spoliation, looting, appropriation, and provenance may be considered. Applications requiring a stay in Paris will be prioritized. Beneficiaries will primarily reside in Paris and work closely with and exchange ideas between both institutions.
