L.R. 6342, Cooper no. 301.;2 Maurice Meunier Paris Cooper no. 301.;3 Max Kaganovitch Paris AStEGB, Entry Book II, 13 March 1956.;4 Emil Bührle Zurich • 5 March 1956 until [d.] 28 November 1956 Acquired from the above, Entry Book as above, n. (3), with reference to the date of purchase. An invoice, made out by Max Kaganovitch to Emil Bührle on 23 February 1956, for the present still life and the still life Cooper no. 304 (Inv. 57) gives the figure of FF 1.5 mio. (= CHF 18.000) for each of the two paintings. Compared with a still life by Gris (Cooper no. 443) which Bührle purchased in the same month from Marlborough Fine Art Ltd., London, and for which he paid CHF 60.000, the figure in the invoice is likely to represent only that part of the total amount which was paid openly via the Franco-Swiss Clearing.;5 Given by the heirs of Emil Bührle to the Foundation E.G.
