In 1852 Emma Budge, nee Lazarus, was born in Hamburg as daughter of the merchant Ludwig Lazarus. After emigrating to the USA with her husband Henry Budge, the wealthy couple returned to Hamburg in 1903. The so called Budge-Palais at the Alster, in which Emma Budge gathered up an important art collection, became the center of the social and cultural life. The collection consisted particularly of handcrafted objects as well as paintings and sculptures. In 1937, shortly after Emma Budge’s death, her collection was sold at auction by the Nazis in the Berlin auction house Paul Graupe. It was the greatest private collection sold at auction during the Nazi regime. (English)

In 1937, shortly after Emma Budge’s death, her collection was sold at auction by the Nazis in the Berlin auction house Paul Graupe. It was the greatest private collection sold at auction during the Nazi regime.After Markus Eisenbeis, Managing Director of Van Ham, received the information from the London Art Loss Register he acted as a mediator between the consigners and Emma Budge’s community of heirs in order to reach a fast and uncomplicated agreement on possible restitution claims. The community of heirs did not make any claims on the work so that the painting could be sold at auction as planned. It came up to a result of about 20,000 euros. (English)

The ships are among 140 objects donated to the museum in 1967 by entrepreneur Giovanni Züst, who had started his silverware collection in the interwar period. They originally belonged to Emma Budge, a wealthy German art collector from Hamburg who took American nationality after marrying banker Henry Budge. She owned a collection of 2,000 artworks including furniture, textiles, sculpture, goldsmith’s work, paintings, porcelain and earthenware.When she died in 1937, the Nazis forced her executors to sell her collection. Research has shown that the funds from this sale were transferred to a Third Reich account and did not go to the heirs. (English)
