Considering provenance is an enormous deal in the art market, and for galleries/museums, the lack of a paper-trail, and the glaring gap in the run-up to and during WWII, will likely mean that this work is bought by a private collector, whisked away to a storage area, and then never loaned out to any public gallery for viewing.
