THE COLLECTION OF MAXIMILIAN VON GOLDSCHMIDT-RO...

This publication is the first to devote itself in detail to the biography of the Frankfurt
banker and philanthropist Maximilian von Goldschmidt-Rothschild (1843-1940). It traces the
history of his famous art collection  and examines the loss of the collection due to the
persecution of its owner and its appropriation by the City of Frankfurt during the National
Socialist regime. It undertakes a critical assessment of the institutional history of the
Museum für Kunsthandwerk (today the Museum Angewandte Kunst) and its involvement in these
processes  as well as reviewing the behavior of the directors of Frankfurt's museums concerning
the restitution of the collection in the postwar years. The publication not only provides the
latest research findings on the provenance of 129 objects from the original collection  but it
is also the first to contain a comprehensive selection of the large number of contemporary
photographs depicting most of the 1 500 items in the collection.
