General Art

From major museums like MONA and Heide to more obscure collections such as Gibbs farm, Private offers unprecedented insight into some of the most intriguing private art collections on public display across Australia and New Zealand. Written by Skadi Heckmueller, who composed the widely successful German equivalent, the book canvasses key examples of the art found in each collection whilst also shedding light on the personal histories of the collectors behind the collections. It compliments these nuanced reflections with practical pointers, including recommendations for restaurants and cafes, important nearby sights and events, and detailed directions.
