The widow of Erhard Göpel, an art historian who worked as a dealer for Adolf Hitler in occupied Europe during the Second World War and was embroiled in Nazi art-looting, has bequeathed an important collection of works by the German artist Max Beckmann to Berlin’s State Museums. Initial research into the works’ provenance by the Central Archive “gave no concrete cause for suspicion that these works were looted”, says the institution in a statement.Like her husband, Barbara Göpel, who died last year at the age of 95, was an art historian. Her bequest includes a painting by the German artist Hans Purrmann, two paintings by Beckmann—a self-portrait in a bar (1942) and a portrait of Erhard Göpel (1944)—as well 46 of his drawings and 52 prints.
