Nicola Erni, a private Swiss collector, has quietly developed one of the largest photography collections over 25 years, primarily featuring images from the 1960s and 70s, alongside notable fashion photography. Her contemporary art collection includes significant works by Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, housed at her private museum in Zug. Erni recalls the joy and anxiety surrounding the purchase of Warhol's Sixty Last Suppers, emphasizing her emotional connection to artworks and hinting at a past regret about missing out on a Basquiat-Warhol collaboration.
The moment I could acquire Warhol's Sixty Last Suppers (1986) is one I certainly will not forget. This masterpiece I had been aspiring to add to my collection was not an easy one to get.
The works I add to my collection of photography and contemporary art need to speak to my heart, as I often say, and give me goosebumps.
