The revised and expanded BMW Art Guide by Independent Collectors presents 256 private collections of contemporary art accessible to the public—large and small, famous and still undiscovered. Succinct portraits of the collections with countless color illustrations take the reader to more than forty 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 network for collectors of contemporary art. Collectors, gallerists, artists, and journalists assisted in the extensive research and revision of this unique standard work. 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.

15 Frédéric de Goldschmidt Collection Reduced aesthetics and humble materials in three locations in the center of Brussels Collector: Frédéric de Goldschmidt Address: Brussels, Belgium [e-mail] Visitation permitted only occasionally. Please inquire by e-mail. He had always purchased art, but it wasn’t until 2009 that Frenchman Frédéric de Goldschmidt began thinking of himself as a collector. That’s when he first acquired works that vastly exceeded the dimensions of his loft apartment, located in a seventeenth-century building in central Brussels. Today he owns two additional showrooms measuring seventy and 160 square meters, respectively. His collection revolves conceptually around the group Zero and their associates, with works by Günther Uecker, Heinz Mack, or Piero Manzoni. In the meantime, de Goldschmidt, who works as a film producer, has begun collecting mostly younger artists, such as the Berliner Stef Heidhues, or Joël Andrianomearisoa, from Madagascar. The collection’s common thread is a reduced aesthetic and great sensitivity to rather humble materials. De Goldschmidt rehangs his collection each year in time for Art Brussels. Brussels Belgium
16 Maison Particulière Exhibitions in a private home curated by collectors, artists, and scholars Collectors: Amaury & Myriam de Solages Address: Rue du Châtelain 49 1050 Brussels Belgium Tel [phone] [e-mail] www.maisonparticuliere.be Opening Hours: Tues–Wed: 11am–6pm Fri–Sun: 11am–6pm It would be hard to be more innovative. The Brussels-based French couple Amaury and Myriam de Solages put together a monothematic exhibition several times a year with collector friends and art experts. Shows on themes of pairs, taboos, or icons, for instance, have been presented at Maison Particulière. The location is as unique as the idea: an uninhabited aristocratic domicile in the lively district of Châtelain. Three stories, dark hardwood floors, high ceilings, lots of light, and chock-full of firstrate furniture by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Arne Jacobsen, and young designers. The whole project has been well-received in Brussels: since its opening, in April 2011, Maison Particulière has turned into an absolute hotspot of the city. Works as varied as those by Cindy Sherman, Kiki Smith, and Hans Bellmer can be seen alongside young Belgian artists, African sculptures, and porcelain objects. Eclecticism with style.

17 Charles Riva Collection Charming presentation of contemporary art in two locations in Brussels Collector: Charles Riva Address: Rue de la Concorde 21 1050 Brussels Belgium Tel [phone] [e-mail] www.charlesrivacollection.com Opening Hours: Wed–Sat: 12–6:30pm And by appointment. The Frenchman Charles Riva is co-owner of galleries in Brussels, Paris, and London. He views his Charles Riva Collection, in Brussels, as a nonprofit space. Here he lives with his collection in a centrally located luxurious nineteenthcentury townhouse. In the spring of 2009, Riva started organizing two to four exhibitions a year featuring works of artists from the collection, including Leipzig painter and printmaker Christoph Ruckhäberle, Californian performance artist and pop-culture antagonist Paul McCarthy, or the fictional New York artist Reena Spaulings. Going to galleries is a serious thing, Riva says, almost on par with attending church. Whoever visits his collection should get a sense of the novel ways in which art unfolds when viewed in private rooms. And located just two kilometers away is Riva Project, a new space specializing exclusively in contemporary sculpture. Brussels Belgium
18 Servais Family Collection Art that poses questions, in a converted factory loft in the north of Brussels Collector: Alain Servais Address: Brussels, Belgium [e-mail] By e-mail appointment only. Alain Servais is omnipresent in the art world. He is occasionally part of the expert panel for the collection of new media at Art Basel. At other times he can be seen during Berlin Art Week rushing from gallery to gallery on a rented Vespa. He is also an avid Twitter user. The extremely well-connected Frenchman, who lives in Brussels, is hungry for art. In his opinion, good art should question certainties: “It should teach me something that I don’t know about myself or my environment.” Servais converted an old factory into a 900-square-meter loft in the multicultural district of Schaerbeek. Here he shows his collection, which includes established names such as Gilbert & George and Barbara Kruger as well as younger positions, like video works by Mexican artist Arturo Hernández Alcázar. Once a year he rearranges 80 percent of his collection’s holdings. “Brussels is booming, when it comes to culture and the arts,” says Katerina Gregos, the artistic director of Art Brussels. April 2016 marked a double premiere: Art Brussels was held in its new location inside the historic halls of Tour & Taxis, and the New York fair Independent installed its European offshoot at the Dexia Art Center, a centrally located, former furniture department store from the 1930s. During such events Brussels really comes alive: open houses hosted by scores of private collectors, gallery nights and parties set the program. For young artists and international collectors, this European capital—with both its charm and rough edges—is the new Mecca: studios, galleries, and institutions congregate here en masse. The Palais des Beaux-Arts (for short: Bozar) lures visitors with exhibitions ranging from Jeff Wall to Daniel Buren. Art-goers interested in current positions such as Edith Dekyndt are in good hands at the Wiels—Centre d’Art Contemporain, in the Forest district. Nine artists’ studios for international newcomers are available for residencies at this art center, which opened in 2007 in an old brewery. If you want to explore the Brussels gallery scene, it’s best to take a tour of the Ixelles district, or the Lower Town, also known as Downtown. Situated here are the spaces of the long-established Galerie Greta Meert and the gallery Dépendance, run by Michael Callies who originally hails from Germany. Walking in the direction of Ixelles you’ll also pass the flagship gallery Jan Mot, Galerie Micheline Szwajcer, recently relocated from Antwerp, as well as the New York bluechip gallery Barbara Gladstone. Upon arriving in the elegant Ixelles district, you’ll find Almine Rech, Xavier Hufkens, and Levy. Delval. Anyone wishing to stock up on art books in otherwise comics-enthusiast Belgium should head straight to the mag nificent Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert Passage, near the Grand Place. Here the bookshop Tropismes provides an opportunity for endless hours of browsing. Nicole Büsing & Heiko Klaas Brussels Belgium
19 Vanhaerents Art Collection Art and film since the 1970s: Warhol, Naumann, and subsequent trends Collector: Walter Vanhaerents Address: Rue Anneessens 29 1000 Brussels Belgium Tel [phone] www.vanhaerentsartcollection.com Online registration required. Walter Vanhaerents’s family has been in the construction business for eighty years, so naturally he went into the business too. But as a young man he studied film. He was so impressed with Andy Warhol’s five-hour-long film Sleep that he wanted to see other works by the Pop icon. No surprise, then, that Warhol, along with Bruce Naumann, is one of the anchors of the Vanhaerents Art Collection. But the reactions of subsequent generations of artists to these seminal figures interests Vanhaerents as well, whose collection also features works ranging from Cindy Sherman, Matthew Barney, and Ugo Rondinone, to the provocative, neo-Pop Art, business-minded artist Takashi Murakami. The collection is housed in a charmingly remodeled 1926 industrial building on the outskirts of the hip fashion and gallery district of Dansaert. Starting in 2007, new exhibitions have been shown biannually on three floors. Deurle Belgium
