The Provenance Page on the HOK site reads as below:

HOK's provenance project explores the history of ownership of works of art in the collection, with particular attention to works from the World War II era.

The HOK collection contains 18 works dated 1945 or earlier that were or might have been located in Europe during the Nazi regime (1933-1945). Nothing currently implies that there is anything suspicious about the history of these works, but HOK wishes to thoroughly research their provenance in light of new information, which has surfaced regarding the painting Woman in Blue in Front of Fireplace (or “Blue Dress in a Yellow Armchair”) by Henri Matisse from 1937.

In line with international policies, HOK has made efforts to be transparent and therefore publishes the list of works in question and their provenance as it is know today:
