Gertrud Döbi-Müller (1888–1980) was one of Switzerland’s most important art collectors as well as a passionate photographer, mountaineer, motorist and model for artists including Ferdinand Hodler. This publication presents works from her outstanding collection as well as her own photo graphs, offering insights into her fascinating, independent life. Döbi-Müller was exceptionally well connected within Swiss and international artistic circles, and she collected works by Cézanne, van Gogh and Klimt, as well as Cuno Amiet and Ferdinand Hodler. As a photographer, she documented the lives of artist friends as well as her own experiences, including journeys across Europe and as far as North Africa. Whether mountaineering, motor racing or collecting art, Gertrud Döbi-Müller refused to be constrained by gender stereotypes and lived with remarkable independence for a woman of her time
