"The missing paintings Gurlitt kept were believed to be lost or destroyed, but a February 2012 routine customs investigation revealed that Cornelius Gurlitt had been hiding more than 1,400 works in his Munich apartment." ... "His only wish, he said, is to enjoy them until he dies, at which point, “they can do with them what they want.”"

I think it would be better to make a museum in Germany keeping all these pictures together. Telling the history of these pictures, how they were looted, acquired by the museum director  and then kept secret for 70 years.
