Ferdinand Möller was one of the few dealers authorised by the Nazi propaganda ministry to sell so-called degenerate art confiscated from German museums. Before the Nazi period, he had been crucial in bringing German Modernism into the US market. Working with Möller, says Megan Reddicks, a doctoral student at Tyler School of Art, Temple University, the German director of the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA), Wilhelm Valentiner, had built a collection of German Expressionist art as early as the 1920s. “They had some sort of good rapport, I hesitate to go as far as to say that it was a close friendship,” she says. But they collaborated frequently, including on a 1923 exhibition of German contemporary art in New York. (English)

From Germany he advised the Detroit Institute of Arts on acquisitions. He returned to the United States in 1921 to catalog he Widener collection at the Metropolitan. He launched the first American exhibition of German Expressionism at the Anderson Galleries, New York, in 1923. The following year Valentiner was appointed director of the Detroit Institute of Art. Valentiner's tenure at Detroit included acquisitions of Pre-Columbian and African art, the first American museum to do so. In 1927 a new building was opened. He became a United States citizen in 1930. Valentiner engaged Diego Rivera to paint the murals of the Detroit Institute, the communist artist's work created a controversy. During the Depression, when the city lacked enough money for his salary, Valentiner returned to Germany for 16 months beginning in 1934. He testified in the 1935 tax case of Andrew Mellon, resulting in the founding of the National Gallery. Valentiner founded the Art Quarterly for the College Art Association in 1937 (and was its editor until 1949). He was Director General for the "Masterpieces of Art" exhibition of the 1939 Chicago World's Fair. He retired from the Detroit Institute of Art in 1944, moving to New York city. (English)

By 1946 Valentiner was Co-Director of the Los Angeles county Museum purchasing art and organizing exhibition for that museum, hiring his colleague Paul Wescher. For the 1949 show on Leonardo da Vinci, Valentiner commissioned models of machinery done from Leonardo drawings. These were subsequently purchased by IBM for a traveling show. In 1951 the North Carolina legislature founded a state art museum, prescribing him as art expert. Valentiner retired from the L. A. County museum in 1953 and the following year was called to develop and direct the J. Paul Getty Museum in Santa Monica. (English)
