Billionaire Jeffrey Gundlach—who has donated more than $60 million to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York—is now offering to give another $2.5 million if that sum is matched by other donors. The institution is currently building an expansion, and is scheduled to reopen next year as the Buffalo Albright-Knox-Gundlach Art Museum. (English)

Rubens sketch illegally sold in aftermath of Second World War returned to museum in Germany (English)
24 June 2024
19 January 2025
Shortly after the war, it is understood that members of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family removed works from the museum complex, and from the storage location in Coburg, and illegally sold them. In 1952 the Rubens sketch of Saint Gregory is recorded as being sold by the New York gallery E. & A. Silberman to the Albright Art Gallery, the predecessor of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, which later became the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.The sketch returns to Gotha following a years-long process of international cooperation between Buffalo AKG Art Museum, the Friedenstein Foundation in Gotha, Christie’s and the Ernst von Siemens Kunststiftung (EvSK). EvSK provided funds for the purchase as well as working to establish the legal groundwork for proving the sale was unlawful. (English)
