Jan Petter Collier (b. 1950) has collected Norwegian and international art for 40 years. In this book, a wide selection from his collection is presented, a total of 50 different artists, 25 from the Nordic region. In a conversation with Janne Sirén, director of the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Collier talks about his passion for art and his commitment to promoting Nordic art abroad. The collection maintains a very high level with works by, among others, Per Kirkeby, Fischli & Weiss, Asger Jorn, Robert Rauschenberg, Josh Smith, Bruce Nauman, Inger Sitter and Håkon Bleken. Norwegian artists include; Ida Ekblad, Eline Mugaas, Sverre Bjærtnes and Bjarne Melgaard. Collier's interest in photography is shown through outstanding photographers such as Ed Ruscha, Steven Shore, William Eggleston, Frank Horvat, Per Maning and Dag Alveng. The book also consists of a conversation between Tone Hansen, director at MUNCH, and artists Eline Mugaas and Olav Christopher Jenssen as well as an essay by Knut Brundtland. Available only in English.

Nicolai Tangen has been collecting art for over 30 years. Now this entire collection of 5,500 works is to be transferred to Kunstsilo in Kristiansand. The collection focuses on Nordic modernism  (1910 2020). This is the first time this fantastic art collection is being presented to a larger audience. The book contains two books in one cassette. On 850 pages, almost 1,000 works from the collections are presented. Initially with the main emphasis on painting and sculpture, similar books on photography and art on paper will be published later. AKO Art Foundation and Orfeus Publishing by Inger Schjoldager have worked for more than 4 years on this book production, and we are proud to finally be able to present this unique collection.
