Description

Joseph Brummer was born in 1883 in Sombor (present-day Serbia) and trained as an artist in Szeged and Budapest. In 1905, he moved to Paris with his brothers, where they opened the Brummer Gallery. With the outbreak of the Great War, Joseph had to leave Paris and relocated to New York. There, they established a new art gallery, specialising in a wide range of objects: African, Egyptian, Pre-Columbian, medieval, and Renaissance European art, among others (Jones, 2010). Brummer passed away in 1947, at which point his private collection was dispersed. A significant portion was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), while some pieces were sold by Parke-Bernet Galleries, and others in Switzerland (Muratov, 2023).
