Une Conversation Sans Mots: La Collection Thierry Barbier-Mueller (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783858818959)

The first survey of the vast Thierry Barbier-Mueller art collection, now exhibited at the Musée Jenisch in Switzerland.

Driven by an existential quest, Thierry Barbier-Mueller (1960-2022), a Geneva-based real estate entrepreneur and patron of the arts, assembled an impressive collection of works by major Swiss and international contemporary artists, such as Marina Abramovic, Silvia Bächli, Georg Baselitz Spencer Finch, Franz Gertsch, Nan Golding, Antony Gormley, Candida Höfer, Elsworth Kelly, Jannis Kounellis, Markus Raetz, Thomas Ruff, and Robert Wilson.

Une conversation sans mots, published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, Switzerland, offers a survey of the Thierry Barbier Mueller collection for the first time. One hundred images of selected works from the collection are supplemented by interviews with the artists themselves. An essay that sheds light on the collection's genesis and Thierry Barbier Mueller's approach to art and collecting rounds out the book.
