The Fourth BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors

The revised and expanded BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors presents 256 private collections of contemporary art accessible to the public—large and small, famous and still undiscovered. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to more than forty countries, often to regions or urban districts that are off the beaten path. This practical guide is a collaborative publication stemming from the partnership between BMW and Independent Collectors, the international online network for collectors of contemporary art. Collectors, gallerists, artists, and journalists assisted in the extensive research and revision of this unique standard work. To date, neither the internet nor any book has ever contained a comparable assembly of international private collections, including several that have opened their doors to art lovers and connoisseurs for the first time.
