Repainted Artwork Database

The Repainted Artwork Database grounds the “Looted” installation in the reality of art loss, highlighting the universal issue of cultural theft. Between 1939-1945, Poland lost around 70% of its cultural heritage, with private, public, and church collections plundered and destroyed. The project references images from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage war losses database, www.lootedart.gov.pl.
