Cornelius Gurlitt

Cornelius Gurlitt (1932-2014) was the son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, an art dealer and former director of the museum in Zwickau who was given the task of selling 'degenerate art' from German museums during the Nazi era.

Cornelius Gurlitt kept an extraordinary collection of pictures in his apartment in Munich which was discovered as a result of a tax investigation in 2012.
