About Emanuel Lewenstein
Emanuel Albert Lewenstein was a Dutch-Jewish businessman and art collector from Amsterdam. As a director of his family's sewing-machine firm, he assembled a notable collection of modern art. The dispersal of the collection at auction in October 1940, months after the German occupation of the Netherlands, became the subject of prolonged restitution disputes in the Netherlands and Germany, which contributed to a major reform of Dutch restitution policy.
