Owner: Fritz Mannheimer — Vaucresson, France
Collection: (Mannheimer, Vichy) Fritz Mannheimer, manager of the Dutch branch of the Berlin-based bank, Mendelssohn & Cie, had residences in Amsterdam and Vaucresson, right outside of Paris. He spent his later years mostly in France and died in August 1939, right after getting married to his Brazilian-born nurse. Title to his collection was complicated by the fact that he placed most of the 3000 works and objects under his wife's name and used the bank's assets to acquire them through a British subsidiary called "Artistic". This is one of the rare instances whereby the Reich leadership acquired a "confiscated" Jewish collection. The Mannheimer collections were plundered in Holland (1940-1941) and in France (1944).
