Purchased from the artist by (Dr. Herbert Tannenbaum [1892-1958], Das Kunsthaus, Mannheim); sold to Theodore Franck [d. 1953], Berlin and Los Angeles; by inheritance to his daughter, Mrs. Felix Gelber, Los Angeles;[1] (Perls Galleries, New York); purchased 1 August 1973 by NGA.[1] The provenance of the painting is given in a letter of 8 January 1973 from Klaus G. Perls, director of Perls Galleries, to Charles Parkhurst (in NGA curatorial files). Theodor Franck was director of the Deutsche Bank in Berlin; his daughter brought the painting to the United States. Tannenbaum's Mannheim gallery exhibited Chagall in 1924 and again in 1927; it is likely the Houses at Vitebsk was sold on one of these occassions. On Tannenbaum see Für die Kunst! Herbert Tannenbaum und sein Kunsthaus. Ein Galerist - seine Künstler, seine Kunden, sein Konzept, exh. cat., Mannheim, Reiß-Museum der Stadt Mannheim, 1994. (English)
