Alfred Flechtheim
Alfred Flechtheim was a prominent Jewish art dealer and collector in Germany during the early 20th century, known for championing modern artists such as Paul Klee and Vincent van Gogh. Flechtheim's gallery in Berlin played a crucial role in the promotion of avant-garde art. However, he was forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1933, leading to the sale and confiscation of much of his collection. His legacy is significant in the context of art restitution, as his heirs seek the return of artworks that were lost during the Nazi regime.
