5 Marvellous Art Collectors' Homes Like An Art Gallery

1. The Monochrome Private Home of Curator Peter Ibsen, Copenhagen

Peter Ibsen, founder of The Museum of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen, has a collection of works he has loved for a decade in his private home.

When Peter Ibsen came across a black, checkerboard-like work by Gregor Hildebrandt, he decided to sell his entire collection and set himself a strict collection target. It is impossible to rule out the artwork because it runs counter to his explanatory powers.

Since then, he has concentrated on collecting monochrome and minimalist works made up of the many artists he shows in his private residence, including Sergej Jensen, Andre Butzer, Sam Moyer and Ethan Cook, among others, in addition to Hildebrandt. Peter Ibsen: "I love the fact that you have to work harder as you see something less."
