A rare look at the personal photographs and collection of one of Switzerland’s most singular art collectors. 

Gertrud Dübi-Müller (1888–1980) was one of Switzerland’s most important art collectors as well as a passionate photographer, mountaineer, motorist, and model for artists such as Ferdinand Hodler. This publication presents works from her outstanding collection alongside her own photographs, offering insights into her fascinating, idiosyncratic life.

Dübi-Müller was exceptionally well-connected within Swiss and international artistic circles, and she collected works by Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Gustav Klimt, Cuno Amiet, and Ferdinand Hodler. As a photographer, she documented the lives of artist friends and her own journeys across Europe and North Africa. Whether mountaineering, motor racing, or collecting art, Dübi-Müller refused to be constrained by gender stereotypes and lived with remarkable independence for a woman of her time.
