<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Sigmund Pickert was the son of Abraham Pickert (1783-1870). He was a renowned Jewish art dealer and antiquarian. His father founded his business as an antiquarian and art dealer in Fürth and later continued in Nuremberg.<br />
<br />
After the death of his father in 1870, Sigmund Pickert and his brothers, Max (1836-1912) and Julius, continued the business. Sigmund counted many prominent collectors and museum curators among his clients, such as John Charles Robinson and Henry Cole from the South Kensington Museum – now Victoria and Albert Museum in London.<br />
<br />
Sigmund Pickert set up a foundation with 30,000 marks for charitable purposes and to enhance the beauty of the city of Nuremberg. Nor did he forget his birthplace; he left the city of Fürth 20,000 marks upon his death.<br />
<br />
Adolphe Schloss acquired a series of 12 works by Flemish painter Abel Grimmer (Schloss German no. 66-77/ French no. 90 1/12), which came from the Pickert Galerie in Nuremberg.<br />
