The Burger Collection is a private collection of contemporary art, which Monique Burger has been building up since the mid-1990s. The collection encompasses different media with emphases in European/American and Asian art and currently includes approximately 1200 works by roughly 130 artists. Aside from established artists, the Burger Collection also acquires the work of younger artists. The Burger Collection also engages in arts patronage, in recent years making possible the film project House with Pool by the artists Teresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler, the Motion Pictures project by Julian Opie, or Herlinde Koelbl’s work Wille, Macht und Wandel. In 2009, the Burger Collection supported the Venice Biennale exhibition by artist Pak Sheung Chuen, together with Hong Kong Arts Development Council. The Burger Collection is also patron of Para/Site Art Space in Hong Kong, KHOJ Alternative Space in New Delhi, Kunsthalle Zürich, and AAA (Asia Art Archive) in Hong Kong. In recent years, works from the Burger Collection have been lent to numerous institutions such as Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne, Guggenheim Museum New York, Centre d’Art Contemporain in Lyon, or the São Paulo Biennial.
