Vianu notes that Bogdan-Pitești spent his last years "in ignominy", while Cernat describes his definitive fall to the status of "a pariah".The art promoter died four years after the war ended, at his house in Bucharest, having suffered a myocardial infarction.According to Cernat, his "grotesque" death was sudden, catching him in the middle of a telephone conversation.
