The art dealer and auctioneer, Eberhard Kornfeld, has spoken to the media for the first time about the reclusive Cornelius Gurlitt, revealing details about his trips to Switzerland to sell artworks. Gurlitt inherited his collection from his father. Some of the art is known to have been stolen by the Nazis. The 94-year-old Kornfeld said his client made regular trips to Zurich from his home in Munich to withdraw the proceeds of his art sales in cash from his account in order to pay his living costs. In his first interview about the reclusive Gurlitt – who died in 2014, a year after his secret trove of art first seized headlines - Kornfeld told Swiss Public Television, SRF, that he paid Gurlitt in cash or by cheque for the artworks he sold.

The Swiss dealer, Eberhard Kornfeld, said at the time that he had obtained them from “a refugee,” without elaborating. More than 40 years later, in 1998, when questions about the provenance of the Schieles arose, Mr. Kornfeld identified the refugee as Mrs. Grünbaum-Herzl’s sister, Mathilde Lukacs-Herzl, who had managed to escape the Nazis. He later presented letters, some logs and receipts that, he said, documented the sale from Ms. Lukacs-Herzl. He also said she had never identified herself as a Grünbaum relative or told him how she had come into possession of the works.In 2011, a federal court in Manhattan found Mr. Kornfeld’s account credible in a separate case in which it ruled a different Schiele from the same collection had not been looted.But the Grünbaum heirs contend that Mr. Kornfeld’s account is a fiction and that the documents are forgeries. They say it is suspicious that he did not identify Ms. Lukacs-Herzl as his supplier until nearly two decades after her death, and they contest the validity of the signatures on the records, pointing to places where Ms. Lukacs-Herzl’s name is misspelled or written in pencil.
