'''Provenance''' refers to the history of creation, ownership, and transfer of [[title]] of a work of [[art]], or an [[artifact]]. Because of an upsurge in prosecutions for [[looted art]] in the [[United States]], most [[museum|museums]] ask that a seller or donor prove the provenance of a work of art or artifact upon its transfer to the museum, thus discouraging the looting of artwork.
