According to Leopold's wife, Elisabeth: "Heirs were selling, an Austrian émigré in London was parting from the Hermits [one of Schiele's most celebrated works], a nephew of Schiele was selling a painting hidden behind a cupboard, unaware of its value."But some of those whose works ended up with Leopold claimed to have been well aware of the value of their possessions. Leopold had tracked Hermits, for example, to Arthur Stemmer, a Jew who had fled Austria for London. "Leopold was quite persistent... and Stemmer felt the price was low, even acknowledging the fact that Schiele was hardly known outside Austria in those days. But he had no choice, because the money was needed," said one of Stemmer's relatives. (English)
