The Other Collection: Homage to Hildy and Ernst Beyeler

Összefoglaló

This book brings together some of the major works of art that, over a period of 60 years, passed through the hands of legendary Swiss art dealer Ernst Beyeler (and which he sold, the ones he retained now forming the wonderful collection of his namesake foundation). Based in Basel, he started out in 1945 as a bookseller and shortly afterwards became one of the most important dealers in XXth century art, befriending artists (Picasso, Dubuffet, Rauschenberg...), dealers (Kornfeld, Nahmad, Glimcher...)and collectors (G. David Thompson, J.J.Sweeney, Josef Steegmann...) alike
