The Rosengart Collection Museum (Museum Sammlung Rosengart) is an art museum located in Lucerne, Switzerland. It houses a collection of modern art based on two main artists: Paul Klee and Pablo Picasso.[1][2]
Collection
[edit | edit source]The art dealer Siegfried Rosengart[3] (1894-1985), who worked in Munich with his uncle Heinrich Thannhauser before moving to Lucerne, had contacts with Picasso[4] and Marc Chagall.[5] With his daughter, Angela, he built a modern art collection containing works by Vassily Kandinsky,[6] Georges Braque, Chaïm Soutine, Amedeo Modigliani, Fernand Léger, Georges Seurat, Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard, Paul Cézanne ou Claude Monet,[7] as well as Camille Pissarro, Auguste Renoir, Maurice Utrillo, Georges Rouault, Henri Matisse ou encore Joan Miró.[5]
His Klee collection is the largest in private hands after that of the artist's family.[5][7] Some of his Picassos were exhibited at the musée Picasso de Lucerne opened in 1978 by the Rosengarts, to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the city.[7][8]
His only daughter, Angela, founded the Fondation Rosengart in 1992.[5][9] The Rosengart Collection opened in March 2002 and received more than 100,000 visitors in the following twelve months.[10]
Building
[edit | edit source]The former neoclassical building of the Swiss National Bank, built in 1923-1924 by the Zurich architect Hermann Herter, is purchased and its conversion entrusted to the architect Roger Diener.[7][11] The art museum opened on 26 March 2002.[7]
The ground floor shows works by Picasso, the basement those by Klee, and the first floor other artists.[11] The former bank's conference room is preserved in its original state and open to visitors.[11]
