Isabella Katharina Alix Hortense Anda-Bührle known as Hortense Anda-Bührle (née Bührle; May 18, 1926 – May 16, 2014[1]) Swiss businesswoman, art collector and philanthropist. She was the daughter of Emil Georg Bührle, who was the majority owner of Oerlikon-Bührle and long-term trustee and curator of Foundation E. G. Bührle.
Bührle was born in Zürich, Switzerland, to German parents Emil Georg Bührle and his wife Wilhelmine Charlotte (née Schalk).[2][3] She did acquire Swiss citizenship only in 1937 by derivation of her parents naturalization. Her father initially was the general director and later majority owner of the machinery concern Oerlikon. Her older brother was Dieter Bührle.[4][5] Her mother hailed from a banking dynasty of Magdeburg, which would later finance the majority of the acquisition of the concern.[6] She attended the Swiss private boarding school, Hochalpines Institut Ftan, in Ftan, Grisons as well as St. Georges School in Clarens.
