The Cornelius Gurlitt Legacy
Rolf Nikolaus Cornelius Gurlitt (1932 – 2014), son of the German art-dealer, Hildebrand Gurlitt (1895 – 1956), passed away on 6 May 2014. Prior to his death, he had designated the Foundation of the Kunstmuseum Bern as his sole heir in his last will and testament (Cornelius Gurlitt bequest).
Hildebrand Gurlitt & Cornelius Gurlitt
The Cornelius Gurlitt Legacy includes some 1,600 artworks. Little is known about the founder, who lived in seclusion, and one can only speculate on his motives in naming the Kunstmuseum Bern Foundation in his testament as sole beneficiary to his fortune.
