Dr. Carl Kempe (1884-1967) was a prominent Swedish industrialist who served as the CEO of Mo och Domsjö AB, a leading company in the Swedish pulp and paper industry. He resided at Ekolsund, a historic former Swedish royal palace, where he also maintained his distinguished art collection. As an early and active member of the Oriental Ceramic Society, he amassed one of the finest European collections of Chinese art created in the mid-twentieth century.
