| history |
Emily Hall Tremaine and her husband Burton Tremaine amassed a modern art collection embodying the range of masters and innovation spanning the twentieth century. Tremaine's collection included Mondrian's ''Victory Boogie Woogie,'' a tondo painting by Robert Delaunay, and works by Pablo Picasso, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Emily began collecting in the 1930s when she was married to Baron Maximilian Von Romberg, a young dare-devil who flew planes, drove cars, and rode polo ponies, all with reckless abandon. After the Baron’s death in a plane crash, Emily’s fascination with art increased, but it was not until her marriage to Burton G. Tremaine, Sr. in 1945 that she began to collect in earnest (12/26/2007, tremainefoundation.org) Emily and Burton Tremaine, New York. Treasures such as Mondrian's ''Victory Boogie Woogie,'' a tondo painting by Robert Delaunay, and works by Pablo Picasso, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Jasper Johns share billing with works by younger artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat.
