Description
The Gallery for a Private Collection of Modern Art, Goetz Collection in Munich, of 1992 is a freestanding volume that can be used as both a public and a private gallery. The architectural conception for the building is derived from the collection of works that have been assembled, namely, art from the 1960s to the present. Situated in a park-like area of birches and conifers, the gallery appears as a simple flush-detailed form, yet upon closer inspection reveals itself as a complex study in composition." --MOMA web site, www.moma.org Keywords: Germany, Bavaria, Oberbayern, Munich.
