The material was collected by Justus Bier during his time as Director of the Kestner-Gesellschaft. The Gesellschaft was founded in 1916 in Hannover with the goal of bringing to Hannover important contemporary art. It was closed by the Nazis in 1936 following an exhibit by Bier, a Jew, featuring artists banned by the Nazis. The Kestner-Gesellschaft reopened in 1948.
