Josef "Sepp" Angerer (1899–1961)[1] was a rug merchant and art dealer who acted as an agent for Hermann Göring's private art collection, immediately before and during the Second World War.[2] Art that Angerer dealt with for Göring came from a variety of sources: looted, acquired using threats, bought on the open market, and appropriated from museums.
