Van Buuren – Museums & Gardens, (Book) by Isabelle Anspach, like new, English texts. 128 pages. 2018.

In 1909, the Dutch banker and patron David van Buuren moved to Brussels. Over the next 30 years, he will build an impressive art collection, housed in an Art Deco villa amidst beautiful gardens, as his career at the center of the financial world unfolds in the context of some of the most important social aspects, economic and political developments of the twentieth century.

After his death, van Buuren’s wife, Alice, continued the legacy that her husband had started; in 1970, she bequeathed the house, the gardens and the art collection to a foundation which became the van Buuren museum.

This unique volume provides superb photographs of the rare furniture, carpets and stained glass windows of the villa, which was built in the style of the Amsterdam school; sculptures and paintings spanning five centuries – including works by Flemish and Italian old masters, Rembrandt, Guardi, Fantin-Latour, Ensor, Van Gogh, Signac, Van Dongen, Foujita, Ernst, Permeke, Wouters and Desmet; and the garden of almost 1.6 hectares. Isabelle Anspach, curator of the Van Buuren museum, contributes a text to this richly illustrated publication.
