VIENNA — Rudolf Leopold, who assembled Austria’s largest private art collection, including works allegedly stolen by the Nazis, died yesterday at a hospital in the Austrian capital after suffering multiple organ failure, said Klaus Pokorny, a spokesman for Vienna’s famous Leopold Museum.Tweet Be the first to Tweet this!Yahoo! BuzzShareThisMr. Leopold, who was 85, collected more than 5,000 works by artists such as Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt.But the collection, which draws art aficionados from around the world, has been criticized in recent years by Austria’s Jewish community and others who contend it contains works seized by the Nazis that should be returned to their rightful owners or heirs.In 2008, a legal opinion commissioned by the Jewish community found that at least 11 of the foundation’s works — including some by Schiele, Anton Romako, and Albin Egger-Lienz — belonged to people who were persecuted by the Nazis and that Mr. Leopold must have been aware, when he acquired them, of the possibility that they had been seized. At the time, he disputed the allegations. (English)
