Born in Leipzig in 1879, Glaser was an art historian and medical doctor who served in the military in the First World War. He was appointed director of the Prussian State Art Library in Berlin in 1924 and became one of the most distinguished art historians and journalists of the Weimar Republic. A significant patron and collector of Modern art, Glaser counted Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner among his friends.As a Jew and champion of “degenerate” art, Glaser was forced out of his post when the Nazis came to power in 1933 and his home was confiscated. He was also compelled to sell his art collection, personal library and home furnishings at two auctions. The Spranger painting was acquired by Wolfgang Gurlitt, an art dealer and the cousin of the Nazi-era art dealer Hildebrand Gurlitt. Glaser fled Germany, ending up in New York, where he lived until his death in 1943. (English)

Mit Machtantritt der Nationalsozialisten wurde Curt Glaser aufgrund seiner jüdischen Abstammung zum Verfolgten; c. 1911 war er zum Protestantismus konvertiert; Sept. 1933 Zwangspensionierung, davor war er als von den Nationalsozialisten unerwünschter jüdischer Museumsdirektor bereits zur Zeit des Erlasses des Gesetzes zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums vom Amt des Direktors der Kunstbibliothek beurlaubt worden. Juni 1933 Exil, gemeinsam mit seiner zweiten Ehefrau, ebenfalls Jüdin. Ihre Emigration führte sie über Zwischenstationen in Frankreich, in der Schweiz, in Italien und Kuba letztendlich in die USA, wo Curt Glaser 1943 in Lake Placid, New York, verstarb. Bevor er Deutschland verließ hatte er in zwei Auktionen unmittelbar vor und nach den Bücherverbrennungen der Nationalsozialisten im Mai 1933 große Teile seiner umfassenden Kunst- und Graphiksammlung und seiner Wohnungseinrichtung sowie seine Kunstbibliothek versteigern lassen. Auktion Nr. 180 Max Perl, Berlin, 18./19.05.1933; Internationale Kunst- u. Auktionshaus GmbH v. 05.09.1933. Einen Teil der Kunstwerke konnte er mit ins Ausland nehmen. (German)
