Ingvild Goetz Donates Herzog & de Meuron Museum and 375 Works to Bavaria

Collector Ingvild Goetz has transferred her Munich museum, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, to the State of Bavaria along with 375 artworks. The donation includes the building and a significant portion of the Goetz Collection. Additionally, over 4,000 other pieces from the collection will be placed on permanent loan. This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the Goetz Collection, which features works by prominent contemporary artists. The collection includes pieces by Richard Prince, Rachel Whiteread, Douglas Gordon, Isa Genzken, and Andreas Gursky. The announcement was reported by Bloomberg on September 10. The museum will now become a public institution under Bavarian state ownership. This move ensures long-term public access to an important contemporary art collection in Munich.
