The Bollert Collection, Gallery 2
Opened in 2005, the "Bollert Collection” presents the last great collection of Late Gothic sculpture which was then remaining in private hands in Germany. The most important works in the collection, assembled between 1908 and 1939 by Dr Gerhart Bollert, are two major works by the artist known as the Master of the Biberacher Sippe, one of the leading German masters at the dawn of the Renaissance in Germany. This Virgin and Child with St Anne impressively illustrates his highly refined carving technique.
