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.”
