300 of the exhibited works were apparently purchased or otherwise appropriated by art dealer hildebrand gurlitt who had reported them destroyed by bombardments, however they resurfaced when details of the gurlitt collection which had been inherited by his son cornelius were made known in 2013. cornelius gurlitt left the collection to the museum of fine arts bern in switzerland which in november 2017 exhibited a number of them in an exhibition entitled "gurlitt: status report: degenerate art - confiscated and sold".
