In celebration of Judith Leyster’s (1609-1660) 400th birthday, the Gallery will showcase her expressive Self-Portrait (c. 1630) as the focal point of a small exhibition that will include ten of Leyster’s finest works from American and European collections. Leyster’s oeuvre consists of a range of subjects, including genre scenes, portraits, and still lifes, that display her awareness of contemporary artistic styles and themes. The informality of her engaging paintings owes much to Frans Hals (c. 1582/1583-1666), with whom she may have studied, as well as to the Utrecht Caravaggisti. To complement Leyster’s works, paintings by Hals and by Leyster’s husband, Jan Miense Molenaer (1610-1668), will also be included.

Jan Lievens’ Enigmatic Career And Relationship with Rembrandt Van Rijn Are Reconsidered in an Exhibition at the National Gallery of Art, October 26, 2008–January 11, 2009; Traveling to Milwaukee and Amsterdam
Washington, DC—The life and career of Jan Lievens (1607–1674), one of the greatest yet most enigmatic Dutch painters of the 17th century, is finally brought to light in the exhibition Jan Lievens: A Dutch Master Rediscovered, on view at the National Gallery of Art in the West Building from October 26, 2008, through January 11, 2009.
The exhibition is organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in association with the Milwaukee Art Museum, where it will be on view from February 7 through April 26, 2009, and the Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam, where it will be seen from May 17 through August 9, 2009.
“History has not been kind to Jan Lievens, and this intriguing exhibition invites a serious reconsideration of his place in the annals of art history,” said Earl A. Powell III, director of the National Gallery of Art. “The Gallery is grateful for the outstanding loans from private and public collections in Europe and America, and we hope that general visitors and scholars alike will find this show to be an eye-opener.”
The Kremer Collection will be participate in the Washington exhibition with two works by Lievens, Christ at the column (dated to around 1625) and a rare landscape, Hilly landscape with resting peasants (dated to around 1640).

For the first time, the entire Old Masters collection will be on exhibit, starting on July 11th at the Wallraf Richartz Museum & Fondation Corboud in Cologne, Germany. The exhibition will show all 48 old masters in the collection and a German language catalogue in full colour describing all works will be available.
For the exhibition in Cologne, Dutch Design office concrete architectural associates bv has designed a modern interior in which the collection will be exhibited. The idea is to show the public that 300+ year old paintings fit very well with today’s designs for living space.
The Kremer Collection at the Wallraf
It is not rare for people to dream of calling a real Rembrandt their own, because the Dutch painter has attained mythical status the world over. But his fellow countryman George Kremer is one of the very few who has actually realised this “boy`s dream”. Rembrandt’s “Bust of an Old Man with Turban” is one of the highlights of his outstanding collection from the “Golden Age” of Netherlandish painting, which also features such masters as Gerrit Dou, Frans Hals, Pieter de Hooch, Hendrick ter Brugghen, Gerrit van Honthorst and Michael Sweerts.
With “Rembrandt, A Boy`s Dream”, the Kremer Collection will be shown for the first time in its entirety in a dedicated exhibition. For this the Wallraf has dispensed with the typical approach of grouping paintings by genre or school, and come up with a surprise that bridges the centuries: the celebrated design office concrete in Amsterdam has custom made an ultra-modern, exhibition space specially for the show. So now the old Netherlandish masters will be brought face to face with the hippest side of Holland.
The Kremer Collection (www.thekremercollection.com) is conceived of more along museum lines, and has less to do with with a fashionable taste. Such that the last self-portrait by Adriaen Hanneman is no less at home in the collection than Gerrit van Honthorst’s “St Peter Doing Penance” or Rembrandt’s “Bust of an Old Man with Turban”. In just thirteen breathtakingly short years, the Kremers have brought together no fewer than 48 such masterpieces. Their goal was and is to create and preserve a collection of paintings that will awaken and foster enthusiasm for the Dutch and Flemish schools of the 17th century.

ACCOMPANYING PROGRAMME

Die Sammlung Kremer im Wallraf
Einen echten Rembrandt sein eigen nennen zu können, davon träumen viele, denn der holländische Maler ist ein weltweit bekannter Mythos. Sein Landsmann George Kremer ist einer der wenigen, der sich diesen Traum, seinen persönlichen „Jugendtraum”, erfüllen konnte. Rembrandts „Alter Mann mit Turban” ist ein Highlight seiner hochkarätigen Sammlung von Bildern aus dem „Goldenen Zeitalter” der Niederlande. Sie vereint weitere Meister wie Gerrit Dou, Frans Hals, Pieter de Hooch, Hendrick ter Brugghen, Gerrit van Honthorst oder Michael Sweerts.
Mit „Rembrandt, ein Jugendtraum” ist die gesamte Sammlung Kremer zum ersten Mal im Rahmen einer Sonderausstellung zu sehen. Für die Präsentation wählte das Wallraf keine gewöhnliche museale Hängung nach Gattung oder Schule, sondern überrascht mit einem Brückenschlag über die Jahrhunderte: Eigens für die Schau hat das renommierte Amsterdamer Designbüro concrete ein topmodernes Ausstellungsinterieur entworfen. Die alten niederländischen Meister treffen also auf das hippe Holland von heute.
Die Sammlung Kremer (www.thekremercollection.com) ist eher museal geprägt und weniger durch ueblichen privaten Geschmack beeinflusst. So gehört das letzte Selbstbildnis von Adriaen Hanneman ebenso zur Sammlung wie der „Büßende Petrus” von Gerrit van Honthorst oder der „Alte Mann mit Turban” von Rembrandt. In der atemberaubend kurzen Zeit von nur dreizehn Jahren trugen George und Ilone Kremer bis heute 48 Meisterwerke zusammen. Ihr Ziel war und ist die Schaffung und der Erhalt einer Gemäldesammlung, die die Begeisterung für die niederländische und flämische Malerei des 17. Jahrhunderts wecken und bewahren soll.
