 Frederick Flick's Opportunism and Expediency
Flick KG did not operate in a vacuum in the 1930s; its executives were not ignorant of the racial persecution that was forcing German Jews to sell their businesses.
Flick KG was initially reluctant, for strictly business reasons, to employ forced workers on a large scale, because the maze of relevant government regulations was quite burdensome, but as the war went on and the manpower shortage deepened, all of Flick's companies became heavily reliant on forced labor.
Flick KG remained in existence, and the Flick family retained control of its steel works in Bavaria, Eisenwerk Gesellschaft Maximilianshütte; its blast furnace operations, Hochofenwerk Lübeck; and its Ruhr coal operations, Harpen and Essener Steinkohlenbergbauwerke AG.

 artnet.com Magazine Features - Flick Collection Opens in Berlin
Flick’s brother, Gert-Rudolf Flick, criticized him for using the family’s name; Flick’s brother and sister insisted that he call the collection not "Flick-Collection" but "Friedrich Christian Flick Collection" to make it clear that it is not a family collection.
Flick began collecting in the 1980s, but in recent years he has been advised by the influential gallery owner Ivan Wirth, who is a partner in the Zürich- and London-based gallery Hauser and Wirth.
Flick profits from the exhibition in that the value of his art will go up because of its presentation at the Hamburger Bahnhof.  In other words, while Flick has portrayed his loan as an altruistic gesture, it may also be a bit vain.

 DigsMagazine.com | laze: flick pick: THE FAMILY STONE
They’re the sort of close-knit family whose get-togethers are chock full of inside jokes and shared reminiscences about each other’s most embarrassing moments; they’re loud and outspoken and eccentric, and though they tease one another like crazy there’s no doubt how much they love one another.
But family matriarch Sybil is only one step above snarky Amy on the grand scale of warm welcomes: she finds Meredith shallow, insecure and close-minded, and is devastated that this is the woman her beloved eldest wants to gift with Grandma’s heirloom wedding ring.
This is more an offbeat family drama than a sweet chick flick, and where it works best is when it shows the family just being itself -- which, in the this case, is loving and funny and open, yes, but also kind of mean and judgmental towards people who aren’t liberals like themselves.
