Günther Franke (1900–1976) had a legendary reputation as a dealer for modern art. Starting in 1923, he built a network of artists, collectors, and museums in Munich and became an important gallerist and dealer for the works of Max Beckmann and Ernst Wilhelm Nay. The publication offers an insightful presentation of Franke as art dealer, collector, and benefactor, and on the history of his art dealership, particularly during the Nazi period.
