Kremer Collection. The Kremer collection is an exquisite private art collection of George and Ilone Kremer.
In 2008, this consisted of approximately 50 paintings from the Dutch Golden Age and Flemish Baroque painting. By 2017, this number had grown to 74. George Kremer was born in Amsterdam in 1950 to Jewish parents who had fled Germany from National Socialism.
As a ten-year-old boy, Kremer visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam on a school trip and was deeply impressed by Rembrandt's painting The Jewish Bride, an image that has remained burned into his retina ever since. That special moment marked the beginning of his boyhood dream to one day own a Rembrandt himself.
After amassing a fortune in the oil industry and his renewed interest being aroused by an auction of old masters in New York, theMaastricht art dealer Robert Noortman introduced him to the art world from 1995 and advised him on building an art collection of Dutch and Flemish masters from the 17th century.
