The Collection","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the 1970s, members of the Hilti family have been actively engaged in the collection of art. The systematic long-term development and growth of the collection began in the early 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe collection of the \u003cem\u003eHilti Art Foundation\u003c\/em\u003e currently contains some 200 paintings, sculptures, objects, and photographs from the period of classical modernism to the present. After more than twenty years of dedicated collecting activity, Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism, and Surrealism, along with Concrete Art and Zero, have emerged as clearly recognisable and increasingly important focal points. Individual artists such as Kirchner, Picasso, Beckmann, and Giacometti or Fontana, Graubner, Knoebel, Scully, and Struth are each represented with several works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA characteristic trait of private collections is that they reflect the individual interests of the respective collectors, their highly personal approach to art. This also applies to the collection of the \u003cem\u003eHilti Art Foundation\u003c\/em\u003e. Originating in a desire for beauty and aesthetic pleasure, the collection is marked by pronounced sensuous qualities, especially in the genre of painting. At the same time, however, it is guided by a conscious perception of the formal and conceptual changes in the art of the late nineteenth and the entire twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of the collection is to continually broaden and publicly disseminate the understanding of this epoch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47455588319468,"sku":"9783777433424","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6175OQVhwTL._SL1500.jpg?v=1774785326","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/hilti-art-foundation-the-collection-9783777433424","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
