There are currently 317 privately founded contemporary art museums in the world, with the largest numbers in South Korea, the United States and Germany. Who founds these museums, and why? How big are these museums, and how many people visit them? Private Art Museum Report surveys 166 private art museums worldwide, providing quantitative, data-backed answers to questions such as these.
Private Art Museum Report was produced jointly by two leaders in the field: Larry’s List, a database of art collectors, and the Art Market Monitor of Artron (AMMA), the leading resource on the Chinese art market. In addition to the study’s findings, this volume includes interviews with several private collectors who have founded museums, including Wang Wei, Walter Vanhaerents and Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo.
