The revised and extended BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors presents nearly 300 private collections of contemporary art accessible to the public—featuring large and small, famous and the relatively unknown. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to more than 40 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 platform for collectors of contemporary art. 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.

AUSTRALIA HOBART
MUSEUM OF OLD AND NEW ART (MONA) A collection that puts personal predilection over speculative intention Collector: David Walsh Address: 655 Main Road Berriedale TAS 7011 Hobart Australia Tel +61 3 62779900 info@mona.net.au www.mona.net.au Opening Hours: May–September Wed–Mon: 10am–5pm October–April Wed–Mon: 10am–6pm Small gestures are not his thing: Australian millionaire David Walsh owns one of the largest museums in the southern hemisphere. This building without daylight is burrowed deep into the Tasmanian bedrock. Aside from contemporary art, the museum also houses Egyptian mummies and Greek coins. Walsh, who made his fortune developing complex winningsystems for gambling, combines antique treasures with Australian contemporary art, as well as works by internationally renowned artists like Jannis Kounellis, Hans Bellmer, Anselm Kiefer, the Viennese group Gelitin, or Wim Delvoye’s excrement machine, Cloaca. Walsh prefers works that confront viewers immediately with subjects like sex and death. He views his Museum of Old and New Art, opened in 2011, as a kind of secular temple in which visitors are made keenly aware of humanity’s existential conditions. AUSTRALIA MELBOURNE
BUXTON CONTEMPORARY A museum of contemporary Australian art set within an art college Collector: Michael Buxton Address: Corner Dodds Street and Southbank Boulevard Southbank VIC 3006 Melbourne Australia Tel +61 3 90359339 buxton-contemporary@unimelb.edu.au www.buxtoncontemporary.com Opening Hours: Wed, Fri–Sun: 11am–5pm Thurs: 11am–8pm The Michael Buxton Collection (MBC) is regarded as one of the most important art collections in Australia. Initially focused on just six Australian artists, the collection now includes over 300 works by fifty-eight artists such as Tracey Moffatt, Howard Arkley, Patricia Piccinini, Mike Parr, and Bill Henson. In 2014, Buxton donated his collection to the University of Melbourne and provided the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) with funding to create and operate long-term a new exhibition space on Southbank Boulevard. Somewhat hidden behind a historic red brick façade, this sprawling museum welcomed its first visitors in spring 2018. Boasting five exhibition spaces and a classroom covering over 2 200 square meters, Buxton Contemporary sees itself as a forum for discussing and debating art—even if you don’t enter the building: an oversized screen at the entrance shows digital and video art, providing plenty of fodder for conversation.

JAHM—JUSTIN ART HOUSE MUSEUM Digital and abstract art—with a glass of wine Collectors: Leah & Charles Justin Address: 3 Lumley Court Prahran VIC 3182 Melbourne Australia Tel +61 4 11158967 info@jahm.com.au www.jahm.com.au Only guided tours with prior online registration. Special tours by appointment. Given its spacious and unorthodox design, the JAHM looks more like a public exhibition venue than a private residence. Elisa Justin, who is an architect like her father, designed the building featuring both exhibition and living areas for her parents Leah and Charles. Accordingly, the question of how an individual artwork relates to the space has perhaps greater influence on what works are acquired than with other collectors. The couple, whose collection comprises around 250 pieces, prefers abstract works, such as by Penelope Davis, Justin Andrews, or Gina Jones, and artists who deal with the concept of space. Digitally produced or modified works and video art are another focus. Hospitality is a top priority for the Justins: not only do they personally take visitors around the building, but they also invite them afterwards to engage in informal conversations and discuss the works over drinks and snacks—on the roof terrace in good weather.

LYON HOUSEMUSEUM The private home as museum: living with art and showing it off Collectors: Corbett & Yueji Lyon Address: 219 Cotham Road Kew VIC 3101 Melbourne Australia Tel +61 3 98172300 museum@lyonhousemuseum.com.au www.lyonhousemuseum.com.au By appointment only. To arrange an appointment, send an e-mail, or call on Mondays or Tuesdays between 9:30–11:30am. If you want to visit Corbett and Yueji Lyon, you first have to make an appointment. For good reason: the architect built a house for his family that also functions as a museum. In the cavernous rooms the artworks are re-hung biannually. Lyon draws on a long tradition, such as Peggy Guggenheim’s Venetian home, where her private collection was shown. The Australian pair has specialized in the artists of their own country, collecting paintings from the likes of Tim Maguire, sculptures by Peter Hennessey, or large C-print photographs by Anne Zahalka. Two decades ago the Lyons decided to collect the work of a new generation, such as that by Peter Atkins, Callum Morton, and Patricia Piccinini, who have since become established internationally. The couple has remained true to their pioneering spirit. SYDNEY Sydney has long battled it out with Melbourne for top billing on the Australian cultural calendar. But, while the latter boasts an equally if not more active gallery and museum scene, Sydney’s harborside arts festival, the Biennale of Sydney, places it a cut above, particularly on the international art world stage, having attracted top-notch curators for its past editions—Documenta 13 artistic director Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Fondazione Prada director Germano Celant, and Stephanie Rosenthal, appointed director of the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin in 2018. The twenty-first edition of the Biennale of Sydney in 2018, marked the forty-fifth anniversary of the exhibition; it was stewarded by Japanese curator Mami Kataoka, chief curator of the Mori Art Museum (MAM) in Tokyo. For those headed Down Under during biennale off-months, there’s still plenty left to see. The Art Gallery of New South Wales (Art Gallery NSW) leads off Sydney’s museum scene. The institution’s John Kaldor Family Collection is of particular note here for its breadth of American and European postwar and contemporary masters. The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA)’s waterfront building, since its renovation in 2012, exudes a fresh modern vibe. More experimental is Artspace, a contemporary art venue in the city’s Woolloomooloo district, which was founded by artists in 1983 and moved to its current venue, a historic building known as The Gunnery, in 1992. The much younger Carriageworks opened in 2007 in the disused Eveleigh Rail Yards, and hosts a multi-disciplinary program of contemporary art, theater, and performance—as well as the city’s biggest art fair, Sydney Contemporary, which is held in September. Australia’s relative isolation from the art market power-centers of Europe, America, and Asia translates into fewer commercial galleries than some cities of similar global standing, but a trip here wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery, which has helped launch the careers of Tracey Moffatt and Fiona Hall, among others.

TEN CUBED Spotlight on artists from Australia and New Zealand Collectors: Dianne Gringlas & Ada Moshinsky Address: 1489 Malvern Road Glen Iris VIC 3146 Melbourne Australia Tel +61 3 98220833 info@tencubed.com.au www.tencubed.com.au Opening Hours: Tues–Sat: 10am–4pm Most art collections don’t open their doors with a pre-determined closing date, but Ten Cubed is one that did. Established in 2010, the original idea was to collect ten works by ten artists over ten years, hence the name. Once enough works by a single artist—from painting to photography, to sculpture and video art—had been purchased, they would be given a solo show in the airy, custom-built gallery space in Glen Iris. The original focus was on Australian and New Zealand artists, from sculptors Alexander Knox and Anne-Marie May to photographers such as David Rosetzky and Pat Brassington. Aesthetic appeal and collectability were the main criteria. Surprised by the success of their experiment—within five years ten artists had already been selected—collector Dianne Gringlas and her curatorial advisor Ada Moshinsky, who is also her sister-in-law, announced Ten Cubed 2, which will now include international artists for the project.
