A few Swiss artists from the Art Museum in Bern Switzerland.

The artwork there has labels showing history of each piece going back to the artist. The museum probably is very careful with provenance, as it received the bequest of Cornelius Gurlitt on his death in 2014. Lawsuits charging that the Gurlitt family had received artwork stolen by the Nazis got international attention. His gift must have been a mixed blessing for the Kunstmuseum Bern. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornelius_Gurlitt_(art_collector)
