Albert von Le Coq
1860‐1930
German orientalist. Born in Berlin. In 1900, he became an unpaid employee of the Berlin Ethnographic Museum. From 1902 onwards, he became a key member of the German Turfan Expedition along with Grünwedel, and explored the Kucha and Turfan regions over four expeditions (first in 1902-03, second in 1904-05, third in 1905-07, fourth in 1913-14). He collected and preserved many murals from the caves in various places, and introduced them in works such as Late Ancient Period of Buddhists in Central Asia, vol. 7 (1922-33). However, the collection of murals is now strongly criticized by the Chinese side.
