The founders<\/h3>\n

Werner Abegg (1903\u20131984) was the scion of a family of industrialists from Zurich. He began collecting works of applied art even as a young man, focusing mainly on textiles. His wife Margaret, n\u00e9e Harrington Daniels (1901\u20131999), had already made a name for herself as an art historian by the time they met in New York during the war. Together they expanded their collections, eventually merging them in a new foundation, the Abegg-Stiftung, launched in the 1960s.<\/p>\n
