The Collection of Olga Carré-Burel formally known as the Collection of Louis Carré. 

This was one of the most important collections of Villon's work in the world if not the most important one. 

Olga Carré (born Burel) was the wife of the important Paris Gallery owner and Collector Louis Carré. He passed away in 1977 and so his wife, Olga Carré, inherited his collection. Louis Carré was the main dealer of Jacques Villon and exhibited his works regularly in his Gallery in Paris and New York. Most of their collection was bought directly from the artists.
