This is irresponsible at a time when woke eco-scum have been making a habit of entering free galleries and damaging valuable art. I don't particularly give a shit about Hitler's paintings, but as with so many statues toppled by BLM assholes in the name of colonialism, it is only so long before they are then given a green light to smash any painting for any reason their disagree with. Artist was a whore? Smash it. Artist used drugs? Smash it. Artist wasn't liberal? Smash it. Slippery slope.

They are making this the big story because the same show has also bought paintings off living paedos who financially benefitted from it.

If somebdy had just bought it back in the day things could have been different.

Literally no one knew they existed until now and they massively increased the value of all his "art" with this stunt. And it will always exist in digital form somewhere regardless of what they do.

Anyone who thinks this is anything but a contrived attention grab to make money is an idiot.

But go on and reward them with attention.

His art is already very expensive.

It's about to get far more expensive with someone very publicly reducing the supply.

Not really. He was very prolific. Most of his works are in private hands, and the market for them is very much underground. This will not affect the very specialized Hitler art market.
