This work is included in the Provenance Research Project, which investigates the ownership history of works in MoMA's collection.
On consignment to Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (1876-1944), Milan, until c. 1925 [1]. Richard Wyndham (1896-1948), London, by 1935 [2]; Estate of Richard Wyndham, 1948; sold through Sotheby's, London to the Museum of Modern Art, New York, November 24, 1948 (Acquired through the Lillie P. Bliss Bequest) [3].
[1] Per Daniela Fonti, with Maurizio Fagiolo dell'Arco, Gina Severini Franchina, et al., Gino Severini: catalogo ragionato, Milan: A. Mondadori, 1988, pp. 128-129, no. 107: "Milano, collezione Marinetti (in deposito fino al 1925 c)." Severini stated in an artist's questionnaire issued by the Museum of Modern Art that he first sold the painting to Léonce Rosenberg, Paris, who subsequently sold it to Richard Wyndham (Collection files, Department of Painting and Sculpture, The Museum of Modern Art, New York). The questionnaire is undated. Though it is correct that Severini signed a three-year contract with Rosenberg in 1919, the provenance information given by the artist could not be confirmed so far.
