Konrad Bernheimer

Konrad Otto Bernheimer (born 30 August 1950) is a German Venezuelan art dealer and collector.

[1][2] Following Kristallnacht on 9–10 November 1938, which saw the huge plate glass windows of the Bernheimer-Haus smashed, the family was sent to Dachau concentration camp.

[3][4] His father Kurt Bernheimer (1911–1954) committed suicide (which Konrad only found out about when writing his memoirs) in Venezuela, and his Venezuelan mother, Mercedes Uzcátegui Ramírez, and his two sisters joined Otto in Germany, who had returned to Munich in 1945.

[4] In 1987, he sold the Bernheimer-Haus in Munich, a "massive baroque-style, purpose-built palace ten bays wide and six storeys high".

[4] As well as being the chairman and owner of Bernheimer Fine Old Masters, Munich, he owned Colnaghi in London, founded in 1760, and the world's oldest gallery, which he bought in 2002.
