1952
Answer
Many of Kirchner's works were tragically destroyed in 1937, a tumultuous period marked by the Nazi regime's campaign against "degenerate art." This systematic purging resulted in the confiscation and destruction of countless artworks deemed subversive or incompatible with the regime's ideological agenda. It was a significant loss for the art world and a stark reminder of the fragility of artistic expression in the face of political oppression.
