So intim wie bedeutsam: Preziosen einer weltberühmten Schweizer Sammlung§Erste umfangreiche PublikationIn its quality, importance, and size, the collection of Basel entrepreneur Esther Grether is world-famous. Due to the intimate affinity of the works themselves, the collection, like almost no other, impressively represents a life lived in devotion to the masterpieces, an abiding passion for the arts, and years of loyal patronage. In the title of this first large publication on the collection is an echo of this double distinction: an elective affinity is what connects Grether to her treasures, and the works themselves are linked to each other in indirect and multiple ways. The personal emphases of the collection reflect precise, central aspects of twentieth-century art history. Photographs of the collection show how the rooms are subordinated to the art and provide evidence of its independence from the categories and values of an art market focused on representationalism.
