Kirchner, Campendonk and Mondrian with their price labels, 1937

Close views of the walls of Room 5: a painted label under Ernst Ludwig Kirchner's Bahnhof in Königstein names the Folkwang Museum in Essen as its former owner; Heinrich Campendonk's Blumen und Tiere is labelled Städtische Galerie Frankfurt 1926; and beside an abstract composition by Walter Dexel hangs Piet Mondrian's Komposition, marked Landesmuseum Hannover 1929, RM 420, with a Farbenordnung by Richter listed at RM 30 above. The prices were meant to outrage taxpayers at what museums had paid for such work.
