In the present article, the second part of my research on a further twenty "separated" works outside the Klee family estate will be discussed in detail, particularly with regard to provenance, and the process of separation will be made precisely comprehensible. Like the artist's son, Felix Klee, art dealers, private collectors or museums also

tampered with Paul Klee's works when they consisted of overlaid works or contained works on both sides. For Klee research, the result of such interventions made by foreign hands is ironically very revealing and provides clues for the reconstruction of the artist's working process not only in the individual cases, but in a broader perspective.
