A JOURNEY THROUGH A PRIVATE ART COLLECTION: FROM BALKENHOL TO VILLEGLÉ
This richly illustrated and beautifully produced catalogue presents sixty standout works from a remarkable Swiss private collection, offering a unique journey through four centuries of Western art. Featuring paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, and installations, the selection spans from the late 16th century to the 2010s, revealing an eclectic and discerning eye.
Organized alphabetically by artist—from Stephan Balkenhol to Jacques Villeglé—the publication avoids a conventional chronological or stylistic order, instead inviting readers to explore the rich diversity of artistic movements and expressions. Each artwork is accompanied by accessible yet insightful commentary, while a detailed scholarly appendix provides extensive provenance research and bibliographic references.
The catalogue was researched and written by Valentina Locatelli, a curator with longstanding expertise in private collections and provenance research. Her work combines academic precision with a clear and engaging writing style, making this volume an essential resource for both specialists and general readers.
An essential volume for art lovers, collectors, and researchers alike.
