Art Everywhere: Palm Beach, Miami, and Fort Lauderdale
As crazy as it seems, conservative Palm Beach felt like the “pre-opening” to Art Basel Miami 2017. Beth Rudin De Woody launched her private Museum, The Bunker Artspace the weekend before Art Basel Miami opened. Her exuberant collection of contemporary art found a perfect home in surprise, West Palm Beach. Just like her other homes, […]
Munich, Salzburg and Vienna

Paris and the French Riviera
Picasso never fails to please. When visiting Paris this year, the most exciting show that I saw was at the Picasso Museum, which reopened in 2014 after a five year renovation.

Joop van Caldenborgh’s Beautiful Brainchild: Museum Voorlinden in Wassenaar
The world of private museums is constantly changing: every day, collections are unveiled, new (and often unexpected) collaborations between institutions arise and boundary-pushing architectural marvels are built. The private museum sphere often sees the pairing of the historic and the contemporary in beautiful settings – nowhere is this tradition better displayed than the newly opened […]
