The exhibition of Van Gogh's work was held in Gallery Bernheim-Jeune from 15th to 30th March 1901. From the catalogue of this exhibiotn, this painting was exhibited at the exhibition. Julien Leclercq contacted Johanna (wife of Theo van Gogh) to produce this exhibition and their two letters in this time shows the following facts. ①Leclercq bought this painting from Bernheim-Jeune shortly before the exhibition . ②Van Gogh painted 2 versions of "Daubigny's Garden". ③This one (now, the collection of Hiroshima Museum of Art) bought by Leclercq at that time was the one that was in Daubigny's family, and that was transferred next to Vollard and then to a private collector who sold it to Bernheim-Jeune. ④Another one painting (now, the collection of Staechelin Family) was the one that was bought by Shuffenecker from Tanguy.
It is known that this painting entered into the Collections of Gustave Fayet in Béziers, southern France, but about the details there are the following different accounts. ＞Account A: Taken over by way of the Schffenecker Brothers' hands. It was often thought that the painting had been taken over to Amédée Schuffenecker, and around 1903 his friend Gustave Fayet got it. But no document shows that the Schuffenecker Brothers received it from Leclercq's wife in her clearing out. ＞Account B: Taken over directly by the Fayet Collection. In 'Paul Gauguin et Gustave Fayet', which introduced many of Fayet's manuscripts, the writer Roseline Bacou said that in 1901 Fayet got this painting. We have to research the documents in detail, but it might be thought that Fayet bought it directly from Leclercq's wife in December 1901, the more so because according to the document she had cleared out the works possessed by her husband in a short time. Certainly Account A remaind possible in the past, but finally we here support the Account B that Fayet got the painting in December 1901, according to the evidence in the latest document.
According to the research by the Nationalgalerie Berlin, this painting was bought by the Gallery from Paul Rosenberg in1929. The purchase price paid by the Gallery was 240 thousand marks(RM), of which the Friendship Association of the Gallery paid 58 thousand marks(RM).
According to the research by the Nationalgalerie Berlin, this painting was acquired by Paul Rosenberg from Fayet's estate after his death in 1928, and was bought by the Gallery in1929. As the year when Fayet, however, died in 1925, we have some doubts about the place where this painting was after Fayet's death. But there is no doubt that Nationalgalerie Berlin aquired the painting from P.Rosenberg in 1929.
This painting was put up for at the Auctuin in 24th March 1900(Hôtel Drout, Paris). In the page (pl.1-6) of the one of the cataloge, which is now in the French National Library, Paris, some notations were written by someone who was thought to be one of the staff at the Auction. this catalogue shows the following. ①this painting was put up for the Auction by 'an amateur(un amateur)'. ②In actual fact, this painting had been in the amateur's hands until this auction. ③The hand-written note shows that the amateur was'Schtschukin(Shchukin)'. ④This painting was sold for '1000' francs. (from the hand-written note)
After Mrs. Daubigny died at 25 December 1890, Daubigny's Family had held the painting until their sellling it to Ambroise Vollard.
This painting was presented to Mrs. Daubigny by Theodorus van Gogh's hands under Vincent's will.
It is unclear when Iwan Shchukin bought the painting from Ambroise Vollard.
According from Vollard's Account Book, Ambroise Vollard bought "Garden" by Van Gogh from 'Mrs. Daubigny' for 100 fr and paid her for it on 20th March 1898. As Mrs. Daubigny was no longer living in 1898, it clear that he bought the painting from Daubigny's family.
Due to financial difficulties the Kramarskys finally decided to sell the painting after Siegfried Kramarsky died.
Siegfried Kramarsky was a banker and a Jew, he and his family left Europe to New York (U.S.A.) with this painting in oder to escape from the coming threat of Nazis.
After Mrs. Kramarsky sold this paintig, it was got by Hiroshima Bank in 1974 though the mediation of Rosenberg &Stiebel, the Nathan gallery in Switzerland, and the Nichido gallery in Tokyo. It was in 1974 that this painting came to Hiroshima in such cricumstance. And since at 3th November 1978 when Hiroshima Museum of Art was established by Hiroshima Bank, the painting has been generally exhibited in the permanent gallery there.
Under the Nazis in the 1930s, 'the Degenerate Art' began to be requissitioned. This painting was involved in this storm and was purged from the Nationalgalerie Berlin. After that, this painting was handed to Franz Koenigs, a banker in Amsterdam.
