Heinz Berggruen
Heinz Berggruen was a renowned art dealer and collector, best known for his impressive collection of modern art that included works by artists such as Paul Klee and Pablo Picasso. Born in Germany, he fled to America in 1936 to escape Nazi persecution, and his early experiences shaped his lifelong commitment to preserving and promoting the very art that the Nazis deemed 'degenerate.' After a successful career in the art world, he sold his collection to the German state, an act of reconciliation that acknowledged the cultural loss caused by the Nazis.
Born on Dec 15, 1904 (120 years old)
