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 anniversairy 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]
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 March 26, 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]
