A private collection of the caliber of that of German publisher Benedikt Taschen allows us to approach the art of a particular moment in history from a new point of view. Highlighting artists and works that museums and other institutions may have ignored, the personal choice of the collector often follows a path divergent from that of the art establishment. Hence the great interest by MNCARS in bringing important private collections, such as those of Ileana Sonnabend, Ernst Beyeler and Panza di Biumo, to the general public.
