After the family lost their company, Mayer-Fuld fled to France, and his two sons—Harry Fuld Junior and Peter Fuld—escaped to England. In 1940 the two panels were bought by what was then called the Kaiser-Friedrich-Museum, and entered the national collection. They were sold by the art dealer Carl Bümming, who was acting as an intermediary for an unknown party. While it is unclear who Bümming worked for, the foundation accepted that the works were confiscated during the Nazi era. (English)
