The Pissarro still missing from the Friedmann collection
David Friedmann’s collection was dispersed; one famous recovery did not solve every loss.
The industrialist David Friedmann owned this landscape in Breslau. An official inventory of his collection was made in January 1940 as Jewish property came under growing state control.
Friedmann was forced from his home in 1941. His estate was confiscated and dispersed, and his daughter Charlotte was subsequently murdered at Auschwitz. The exact date and route of the Pissarro’s removal remain uncertain.
A Liebermann from the same collection surfaced in Cornelius Gurlitt’s holdings and was returned in 2015. That recovery should not be confused with this Pissarro, which remains unlocated.
