Summary:
The world was stunned when eighty-year old Cornelius
Gurlitt
became an international media superstar in November 2013 on the discovery of over 1,400 artworks in his 1,076 square-foot Munich apartment, valued at around $1.35 billion.
Gurlitt
became known as a man who never was - he didn't have a bank account, never paid tax, never received social security. He simply did not exist. He had been hard-wired into a life of shadows and secrecy by his own father long before he had inherited his
art
collection built on the spoliation of museums and Jews during
Hitler
's Third Reich. The ensuing media frenzy unleashed international calls for restitution, unsettled international relations, and rocked the
art
world. How
Hildebrand
Gurlitt
succeeded in
looting
in the name of the Third Reich, duping the Monuments Men and the
Nazis
alike. As an "official dealer" for
Hitler
and Goebbels,
Hildebrand
Gurlitt
became one of the Third Reich'
s
most prolific
art
looters. Yet he stole from
Hitler
too, allegedly to save modern
art
. This is the untold story of
Hildebrand
Gurlitt
, who stole more than
art
-- he stole lives, too.
