The Bührle Collection is the world’s foremost collection of works by the biggest names in impressionist art from Renoir, Van Gogh and Gauguin to Cezanne, Monet and Picasso. Nearly half of the 64 works on display are being exhibited in Japan for the first time ever.

One Collector, One Impressive Collection
Having lived through both world wars, the successful German-born industrialist Emil Georg Bührle was a passionate art collector his whole life. He spent the latter half of his life in Switzerland, where he amassed his world-renowned collection of impressionist art between 1937 and his death in 1956. In 1960, a foundation established by Bührle’s heirs opened a private art gallery in a villa next to his former residence to showcase the collection. After the theft of four paintings worth CHF 180 million (¥17.5 billion) made worldwide headlines in 2008, public access to the collection was restricted. An agreement has been reached to transfer the entire collection to the Kunsthaus Zürich in 2020.
