Goering's Man in Paris
Jonathan Petropoulos
A charged biography of a notorious Nazi art plunderer and his
career in the postwar art world Bruno Lohse (1911-2007) was one of the
most notorious art plunderers in history. Appointed by Hermann Goering
to Hitler's art looting agency in Paris, he went on to help supervise
the systematic theft and distribution of more than thirty thousand
artworks, taken largely from French Jews, and to assist Goering in
amassing an enormous private art collection. By the 1950s Lohse was
officially denazified but was back in the art dealing world, offering
masterpieces of dubious origin to American museums. After his death,
dozens of paintings by Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro, among others, were
found in his Zurich bank vault and adorning the walls of his Munich
home. Jonathan Petropoulos spent nearly a decade interviewing Lohse and
continues to serve as an expert witness for Holocaust restitution cases.
Here he tells the story of Lohse's life, offering a critical
examination of the postwar art world.
