A practical mix between museum and travel guide, this handy and richly illustrated publication introduces some 60 private collections of contemporary and modern art in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. All of the places included, many of which were specifically designed for the private collections, are open to the public. For the most part, they are true insiders’ tips the general public is unaware of.
