Overview
- Galerie Bruno Bischofberger confirmed the death of its founder at 86, a dealer who brought American artists to European audiences.
- Bischofberger forged a first-refusal pact with Andy Warhol, represented Jean‑Michel Basquiat from 1982, and helped launch the Warhol–Basquiat collaboration in 1983.
- The gallery has not said if it will continue operations, and its large Männedorf complex near Zurich was designed by his daughter and houses the family collection.
- Art detective Arthur Brand reported finding a Toon Kelder painting from Jacques Goudstikker’s looted collection in the family home of Dutch SS collaborator Hendrik Seyffardt, noting a “Goudstikker” label on the back.
- Brand said recovery faces limits in the Netherlands because police cite expired time bars and the Restitutions Committee will not hear private claims, prompting a Seyffardt relative to seek public pressure for a return to the heirs.
