Hans Cohn; Collector of Artworks From Ancient Civilizations

Hans Cohn, 90, an investment banker and art collector who showed his extensive collections of glass and other works from ancient civilizations at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and elsewhere over the past several years. Cohn and his wife, Varya, amassed antiquities from Greek, Roman, Etruscan and Egyptian cultures that were shown at LACMA in 1990, and the museum opened a permanent installation of the Cohns’ collection of ancient glass pieces the same year. Cohn began collecting in the 1930s in his native Germany but lost many treasures when he fled to the United States before World War II. He had been a LACMA trustee since 1983.
