And for the front lawn, should I put in a nice carp pond or have Herzog design a museum for my private collection?

Our exhibitions are proof of the autonomy of art, of its creative strength and its ability to show us the world in a way we would never have imagined possible. The Goetz Collection feels duty bound to plead for the openness of our perceptions and the constant correction of our thoughts and views through contemporary art.

The current set of video installations from Doug Aitken are stunning. The Goetz collection is open daily by appointment, but I found standing out front and pleading to be equally effective.
