Back in Town – A Renaissance Goblet made in Frankfurt and formerly in the Ullmann Collection

One of Frankfurt's most important art collections of the twentieth century belonged to Albert Ullmann (1862-1912), director of the Frankfurt Cassella Works, and his wife Hedwig (1872–1945). Following the assumption of power by the National Socialists in 1933, the Ullmanns – a Jewish family – were ultimately forced to leave the country. The goblet was one of the few objects to remain with her, and it accompanied her on the trip from Germany to Australia. In 2012, the goblet was offered for sale to the historisches museum frankfurt.
