Excerpt: 1913 Lange Voorhout no. 1 - In May 1912 Anton buys the building next to the headquarters of Müller & Co. At Lange Voorhout no.1 in July 1913, Helene shows her art collection for the first time, with work by Seurat, Signac, Théo van Rijsselberghe and a small room adorned with work by Redon on the ground floor. The largest room is for Van Gogh, which she regards as the heart of her collection. Slowly but surely, the ‘ultra-moderns’ are hung on the first floor: Juan Gris, Auguste Herbin, Van der Leck and Mondriaan. 'Museum Kröller' is free to visit, but visitors must request a ticket in writing in advance. The public mainly consists of the wealthy bourgeoisie, students of Bremmer, but also artists and art academy students.(Submitted on January 14, 2024.)
