NotesAlbert Kollmann (1837-1915) was a German merchant and art collector. In 1863, Kollmann gave up the family business, turned to art and traveled through Europe in search of artists worthy of support without a permanent address. As an intern in 1888, he was one of the first nine students of the “precursor institute” of the Art History Institute in Florence, founded by August Schmarsow, along with Aby Warburg, Ernst Burmeister, Hermann Ulmann, Max J. Friedländer, Johannes Seger, Max Semrau, August Winkler and Ernst Zimmermann. In the early 1890s he sold the works of Max Liebermann. In 1899 he exhibited his private collection in the Museum Church of St. Catherine in Lübeck .
In 1892, Kollmann met and became friends with Edvard Munch at Max Liebermann's studio. Kollmann established contact with the Lübeck ophthalmologist and collector Max Linde, who became one of Munch's larger collectors and clients from 1902 onwards. Munch made several portraits of Kollmann (including this stately drypoint).
