      Und so erstaunt es nicht, dass Ernst Beyeler nicht nur zu einem der erfolgreichsten Verkäufer der Werke von Paul Klee, sondern neben Daniel Henry Kahnweiler auch zum erfolgreichsten Händler von Werken Pablo Picassos arrivierte.
      So it isn't surprising that Ernst Beyeler not only succeeded as one of the most successful salesmen of Paul Klee's works but along with Daniel Henry Kahnweiler as the most successful distributor of paintings by Pablo Picasso.
