Huber feared that the Nazis would destroy these works that would not be offered, which did certainly come to move afterward. To fund his purchases of “degenerate art” by Marc, Macke, and Picasso, Huber needed to promote the lion’s share of his present assortment: “What I continually gave away in exchange would hardly have made a worse collection than the present one.” His choices have been all the time spontaneous: “Whenever I hesitated in front of a picture and asked myself how I’d be able to pay for it or where I’d want to hang it, I knew it wasn’t a strong artwork.”

Shortly previous to his dying in 1979, Huber established a basis to which he transferred the works he had collected—and the work now exhibited right here, usually stored on the Museum of Fantastic Arts Berne and Kunsthaus Glarus, are on mortgage from this Othmar Huber Basis.
