	washingtonpost.com: Nazi Legacy Haunts Plans for Berlin Art Exhibit
		Flick, 58, the heir and grandson of a Nazi-era arms manufacturer who was sentenced to seven years in prison for the use of slave laborers and the "aryanization" of Jewish property, will at his own expense exhibit his private collection of work by 150 contemporary artists for seven years, beginning in 2004.
		Flick, however, has refused to pay into a German industry compensation fund for slave laborers, arguing that the companies founded by his grandfather willingly contributed more than their required share and that he was the only individual in Germany asked to make a donation.
		Friedrich Flick, sentenced in 1947, was released after three years and rebuilt his companies in West Germany, leaving his heirs extraordinarily wealthy at his death in 1972.

	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.

		The public debates brought about in conjunction with the loan of the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection have created political debates within the National Gallery and thereby also in all the State Museums, which are likewise part of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.
		The collection itself was at best the object of a specific resentment, namely the suspicion that the collector was motivated by purely mercantile considerations, and that the connection to the National Gallery was merely a capitalist maneuver to increase the collection’s value.
		The acquisition of the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection in an institute such as the State Museums does not imply some kind of exoneration of its collector, it is instead an unbiased public presentation of artworks.
