Max Kaganovitch Paris • by 1938–1956 Œuvres choisies (des 19ème et 20ème siècles), (exh. cat.) Galerie Max Kaganovitch, Paris 1938, no. 21; Paul Gauguin (exh. cat.) Kunstmuseum Basel 1949–50, no. 64; the lender was Max Kaganovitch, and the painting was sent to Basel from the Kunstmuseum Bern, where it obviously was in storage, Archive Kunstmuseum Basel, K 13,7. The indication «Privatbesitz Schweiz» in the Basel catalogue is recurrent in the Œuvres choisies du XIXe siècle, (exh. cat.) Galerie Max Kaganovitch, Paris 1950, no. 18, and in Europäische Meister 1790–1910, (exh. cat.) Kunstmuseum Winterthur 1955, no. 92, of which an annotated copy (see Wildenstein Plattner no. PGJQ2R) reveals it to refer to Max Kaganovitch (who owned Swiss citizenship).9Emil Bührle Zurich • 1956 until [d.] 28 November 1956 Acquired from the above, AStEGB, Inventory Card Gauguin, L'Offrande. Contrary to all other inventory cards of the collection dating from 1956, this one records only the year 1956, and does not give an exact date of purchase – which might be an indication that the painting's acquisition somehow coincided with Bührle's death on 28 November 1956.
