NOTES:
[1] Although, formally speaking, Vincent Willem van Gogh was joint owner of
the Van Gogh collection from 1891, his mother, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger,
managed the collection until her death in 1925. See the inventory of van
Gogh’s works then in van Gogh-Bonger’s collection, Andries Bonger,
“Catalogue des œuvres de Vincent van Gogh,” 1891, Brieven en Documenten, b
3055 V/1962 (document),Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, no. 307, as Vue d’Asnières, avec Marronniers en fleurs. See also photograph of
the verso of the painting before its relining in 1980, with the inscription

[2] The date February 9, 1927 is from Walter Feilchenfeldt, Vincent van Gogh: The Years in France; Complete Paintings 1886–1890: Dealers, Collectors, Exhibitions, Provenance (London: Philip Wilson, 2013), 84. Feilchenfeldt, 30, 33n53, notes that V. W. van Gogh sold the painting through Leicester Galleries on the occasion of the second exhibition at Leicester Galleries in November–December 1926. It is possible that the sale to the next constituent was not finalized until February after the exhibition closed. The catalogue raisonné, J.-B. De La Faille, L’Œuvre de Vincent Van Gogh: Catalogue Raisonné (Paris: éditions G. Van Oest, 1928), no. 355, has the painting in Beechman’s collection in 1928.

The Bignou Gallery albums at the Frick contain photographs and descriptions of artwork that passed through the hands of the Bignou Gallery (New York) during the 1930s and 1940s, but it is also possible that Bignou only provided a new frame for the painting rather than owning a half share. See letters cited above. Also according to Reid and Lefèvre’s stock book entry, they owed an “additional cost” to Bignou. For the relationship between Bignou and Reid and Lefèvre, see Alex Reid and Lefevre 1926–1976 (London: Lefèvre Gallery, 1976), 17–21.
[4] See record of sale to Gérard in Alex Reid and Lefèvre stock book, Tate Britain, London, Alex Reid and Lefèvre archives, TGA 200211, p. 290. Although the stock book lists “Raphaël Gérard” as the purchaser, the dealer did not establish “Galerie Raphaël Gérard” until 1932. Before that, Raphaël and his brother Christian Alfred Valère Gérard ran “Gérard Frères” in Paris (1911–1932). See “Bio and History,” Galerie Félix Gérard and Galerie Raphaël Gérard Records, ca. 1899–1959, Wildenstein Plattner Institute, New York and Paris, https://digitalprojects.wpi.art/archive/detail/453312-galerie-felix-gerard-and-galerie-raphael-gerard-re.
[5] Possibly Moser stock no. L.64.23.2. Moser was an art dealer in Berlin until 1933, when he and his family fled the Nazis, first living in Zurich and then in Heemstede, The Netherlands. In February 1940, just before the Nazis’ invasion of The Netherlands, they crossed through France, Italy, Spain, and Cuba before finally arriving in New York. Prior to their flight from Europe, they sent their art collection from The Netherlands to the Baltimore Museum of Art, which arrived at the museum on May 1, 1939. The present painting appears on the wall of the Moser apartment in New York City in a photograph published in Aftonbladet on January 24, 1953. Letter from Ann Moser, Hugo L. Moser’s daughter-in-law, to Meghan Gray, April 21, 2015, NAMA curatorial files.
[6] The painting was sent on long-term loan to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, from February 16, 1968 until April 28, 1976, and then was transferred to the Baltimore Museum of Art. It remained on loan in Baltimore until it was transported to Sotheby’s on September 14, 1979, where it was sold by Maria Moser on November 7, 1979. All of Hugo L. Moser’s paintings were transferred to his wife, Maria Moser, in the late 1960’s when his health was failing. See email from Ann Moser, Hugo L. Moser’s daughter-in-law, to Meghan Gray, April 21, 2015 and May 6, 2015. See also email from Mary Allen, Assistant Registrar, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, April 22, 2015, and email from Caitlin Draayer, Assistant Registrar, Baltimore Museum of Arts, April 22, 2015, to Meghan Gray, NAMA curatorial files.
[7] While Maria Moser was the primary owner of the painting, she gave a portion of each painting in the collection to her two sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren each year. By 1979, the present painting was collectively owned by the Moser family. Email from Ann Moser to NAMA on April 30, 2015.
Richard L. Feigen and Co. was purchaser as agent for the Blochs. See email from Ann Moser to Meghan Gray, April 30, 2015, NAMA curatorial files. Richard L. Feigen and Co. purchased the painting at Sotheby’s on behalf of Henry and Marion Bloch. See email from Emelia Scheidt, Richard L. Feigen and Co., New York, to Meghan Gray, April 13, 2015, NAMA curatorial files.
