Summary

Catherine Hickley: Munich's hidden art treasure

Hitler's dealer and his secret legacy

During Nazism, before and during the Second World War, Hildebrand Gurlit collected a huge art treasure, above all works that received the stamp of "perverted art" but also works of the classics. He entrusted his entire huge collection to his son Cornelius for safekeeping - as the biggest secret. And the son, indeed, carefully, for more than half a century, had the only lifelong obsession: how to hide from the public more than a thousand accumulated paintings, drawings and graphics of the most eminent artists - Liebermann and Monet, Durer and Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Chagall, Munch, Kokoška ... and many others. the answers of the army of state institutions and private lawyers, lawyers, human rights activists and researchers of Holocaust victims, representatives of the aged, infirm and deranged, now deceased Cornelius.
It is not just about Gurlit, but about the principled issues of snatching or under pressure selling masterpieces for nothing, which was also used by many other collectors, among them Gugenheim, when in Paris, just before the German occupation, she created her precious collection.
In this regard, Catherine Hickley's book raises a number of moral and ethical questions, exposes the ways of false denazification, highlights the dilemmas surrounding the acceptance or rejection of Cornelius Gurlit's proposed bequest to the Museum in Bern and at the same time points to the organization of special institutions in Germany, which continues to admit that it bears national responsibility for Nazi crimes, including the looting of works of art primarily from Jews.
