Not to underestimate your intellectual ability, I find it important to define ‘contemporary art’ just in case some of our readers do not understand the whole point of contemporary art.

Contemporary art is a diverse expression of works of creativity done today by living artists. It is the art created between the later half of the 20th century and the 21st century.

It may be in the form of painting, architecture, literature, sculptures, cinemas, or music.

Being a country with rich history, Germany is not new to the world of contemporary art. A visit here cannot end without touring some of the best art exhibitions. 

Since everything is available digitally, you can buy all your tickets to museums and exhibitions online. However, just like many online stores, you first have to certain of the legitimacy of the store you want to buy from.

However, the Goetz Collection (Sammlung Goetz) is a private collecting art gallery that showcase contemporary pieces of art. 

The owner and the founder of the Museam is the German curator, Ingvild Goetz.

In terms of size, it is not the largest there is. nonetheless, it contains more than 5,000 pieces of art much of it that were collected in the 21st century.
