       some of the finest works by the greatest artist of the 
       20th-century were collected by two Swiss art patrons, 
       Rudolf Staechelin (1881-1946) and Karl Im Obersteg (1849-
       1926). They were successful businessmen, and friends, and 
       inspired by the art of their times, actively purchased 
       works by modernist artists. Published on the occasion of a
       major international exhibition  [this book] features over 
       60 celebrated paintings from their collections, by 22 
       world-famous artists. Masterpieces include Paul Gauguins
