Ernst Otto Horn collection - Saxony

I noticed a reference to the Ernst Otto Horn collection on a recent Atlas offering. Has anybody ever seen the collection in person? I am intrigued and might poke around more to see what I find. He died in 1945, but the collection only hit the market in 2010? I am certain that there is a more elaborate story here to be told.

    As I heard from James Ricks, there was some sort of disagreement amongst the heirs that took a very long time to resolve. Given that Herr Horn died in 1945, I expect that his collection just sat in storage while the world tried to heal itself.

    I own two pieces from this collection, both from James.
