Meike Hopp
Meike Hopp (* 1982 in Munich ) is a German art historian and provenance researcher .
life and work
Hopp studied art history, theater studies and classical archeology at the University of Munich , which she completed in 2008 with a master's thesis with Frank Büttner on female students at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich between 1920 and 1950 . In 2008 she received the Heinrich Wölfflin Prize for this work . From 2008 to 2009 she archived the artistic and written legacy of the sculptor Lothar Fischer in the Museum Lothar Fischer in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz .
In 2009, Hopp received a research contract from Katrin Stoll , the owner of the Neumeister auction house in Munich, to research the history of Adolf Weinmüller's predecessor house , which was involved in the National Socialist art theft . The thesis “Adolf Weinmüller's art dealerships in Munich and Vienna 1936–1945” was published in 2012 in cooperation with the Central Institute for Art History . Meike Hopp's investigation caused a sensation in specialist circles and is regarded as an exemplary approach to a company history contaminated by National Socialists.
Old Weinmüller auction catalogs from Munich and Vienna with handwritten notes that were previously thought to be lost were only found after Hopp's work was completed. From 2013 onwards, the catalogs were digitized and commented on under her management and have been in the Lost Art database since May 2014 as “Weinmüller Fund. Annotated auction logs 1936–1944 ”are available.
From 2011 to 2013 Hopp was in the Munich Graphic Collection on the provenance research project “ Rudolf von Alt (1812–1905). Watercolors and Drawings ”. In 2013 she worked on the exhibition and catalog project "The year 1938: Art life under National Socialism" at the Jewish Museum , Frankfurt am Main. Hopp was a research assistant at the Central Institute for Art History, Munich. In the 2013/14 winter semester she was a lecturer in provenance research at the Department of Art Studies at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich .
Since the 2019/2020 winter semester, Meike Hopp has been teaching as a junior professor for digital provenance research at the Technical University of Berlin .
