In addition , among the authors of the representatives of different fabrics such currents of modernism as Emil Nolde, Franz Marc , Max Beckmann , Paul Klee , Oskar Kokoschka , Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Max Liebermann . Also , along with the " degenerate " paintings , the collection includes works by Albrecht Durer.

As it turns out , Gurlitt came under suspicion of the authorities of Germany in 2010, when the return to Germany from Switzerland to find him a large sum of cash.

The Amber Room was destroyed to Russia twice - the first time she chose to evacuate evacuation of the party archives , and the second time occupied by the Soviet authorities in 1945, Königsberg , it was decided to destroy the remnants of the Royal Castle to their detailed research .
Deluded by Soviet propaganda "researchers" of the Stasi have spent huge money on poiski.Dengi far exceeding a monetary value of this unique work created by German craftsmen . Actually, as a work of art, the Amber Room was never interested in Sovety.Ee loss was , for obvious reasons , more into the hands of Soviet propaganda than its acquisition vnov.I if not monarchical habits of post- perestroika Russian authorities , no one would have become her vosstanavlivat.Segodnya when all the secret is out , and get detailed information about the fate of the Amber Room is not difficult, new attempts to unleash the mysterious fog look tabloid jokes .

AS in a small apartment can be kept fifteen hundred paintings ?

Why do you think that the apartment is small?
If the ceilings are high , it is possible to install several rows of shelves of varying heights .
No problems with the placement does not arise.
The main thing is that the storage was on the first floor and can be reached by car , preferably indoors. It will be convenient to load and unload .
I looked on the internet area where the apartment is located

And if it is PR-start for fakes?

[Seriy]

Valerit, was written somewhere footage of the apartment , it is small. If you turn the apartment into storage to the ceiling, he is able to get, but the people living there , so there was a bed , a table, chairs ...
We shall see.

IV, if the picture with degenerative exhibition, to be good , but so far this type of speculation. The fact that the show - yes, a whole unintelligible even sold Beckman .
Maybe PR, maybe a fake made ​​before the war, could the third grade , the remainder of the father - dealer.

We shall see.

The apartment was littered . So it is not cleaned . Perhaps there never lived ?
And came with a search warrant . means or have attended, or the apartment was in his name.
Or he lived there .
In this area live those who have "money to burn ." Safe area .
In such houses have a garage with an elevator. Temperature range is constant . Almost perfect for a private warehouse.
It is strange that the police two years silenced . Do not be surprised if there are present copies . Then where are the originals ?

[Seriy]

Valerit, not sure that in the period between the two world wars, someone forged Beckmann , Kirchner or Nolde, Kokoschka - it was quite ordinary artists, you can safely buy them from the originals .
In fact it turns out that all the artists of the bridge were brought and showed in Russia in the period between the two Russian revolutions , and no one bought ... A pity , would be hanging now in the Pushkin Nolde, Henkel, Pechstein ...
