Eberhard W. Kornfeld (23 September 1923 – 13 April 2023) was a Swiss auctioneer, author, art dealer, and collector based in Bern.
[3][4] In 2017, it was discovered that the son of Adolf Hitler's art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt had been selling artworks from his secret stash in Munich through Kornfeld in Switzerland.
[8] In 2018, the heirs to other Jewish collectors who had been looted, August et Serena Lederer, got a court order to compel Kornfeld to supply information about a Schiele painting they had owned.
[9] In 2019 a judge ordered that two Schieles that Kornfeld had sold be restituted to the heirs of a Holocaust victim Fritz Grünbaum because they had been looted by Nazis.
[10] In September 2023 the Manhattan DA seized several Schiele paintings that Kornfeld had sold to Otto Kallir's NYC-based Galerie St. Etienne, "with no provenance whatsoever".
