Daniel Wildenstein
Daniel Leopold Wildenstein (11 September 1917 – 23 October 2001) was a French art dealer, historian and publisher who headed the Wildenstein art-dealing dynasty. He expanded and systematized the family's catalogues raisonnés (notably a five-volume catalogue of Claude Monet), founded the Wildenstein Institute, edited the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, and was a prominent racehorse owner and breeder. His career combined scholarly cataloguing and aggressive international art dealing and was marked by both significant influence in the art world and later legal and provenance controversies surrounding family holdings.
