Emil Georg Bührle
Emil Georg Bührle was a Swiss art collector and arms dealer, known for amassing a significant collection of European paintings, including works by renowned artists such as Van Gogh and Monet. His collection has been controversial due to concerns regarding the provenance of some artworks, many of which were previously owned by Jewish families who were persecuted during the Nazi regime. Bührle's legacy is now a focal point for discussions surrounding art restitution and the ethical responsibilities of museums and collectors in addressing historical injustices.
