For a moment I thought about shifting my point of departure to this “Der Fall Gurlitt” on the basis of it being a “sensation” more “current” than the already delayed news of a rediscovered Van Gogh painting, but I will stick to my original design, as the argument about the current sensation of the Van Gogh rediscovery, as the even more current and even more sensational Gurlitt rediscovery, in both cases is that it is neither current, nor sensational, but on the opposite: that these rediscoveries, resurfaces and re-attributions are systemic intrinsic in the way images becomes visible as art, and maybe even as images.
