Curt Glaser, a prominent German-Jewish museum curator and art collector, faced forced emigration due to the rise of the **** regime in 1933. In Berlin, he sold a significant portion of his art collection. However, the Kunstmuseum Basel, with the support of Glaser's heirs, achieved an international recognition as a "best practice" agreement for the settlement of his art. This recognition highlights the significance of Glaser's collection, which includes works by renowned artists such as Edvard Munch, Max Beckmann, and Henri Matisse. The museum's catalog provides a detailed insight into Glaser's captivating collection, showcasing his fascination with modern art. Additionally, essays in the catalog delve into the role of art collectors in fostering modern art and shed light on Glaser's exceptional journey, particularly in the context of former Jewish art ownership in public museums.
