She was born in Kulm in 1941 as the daughter of the entrepreneur Werner Otto and his first wife Eva (née Haffner).
Goetz studied political science and founded a publishing house for graphic editions in Konstanz in 1969 . In 1972 she opened the Art in Progress gallery in Zurich , where she worked as a gallery owner in the following years . After the political happenings snow of Wolf Vostell her work permit was not granted, and she moved in 1973 with its gallery of Munich . After receiving part of the family fortune in 1984, she gave up her job and since then has devoted herself to collecting contemporary art. Some works from the gallery time formed the basis. After an orientation phase, Arte Povera became one of the focal points of the collection. American painting of the 1980s, Young British Artists, media art and selected individual positions were added later.

As one of her reasons for collecting art, she gives: “Collecting is a disease. You work your way off on pictures. But art is also the best therapy. Just see what a balanced, polite, dear person Jonathan Meese is, who sometimes paints crazy pictures. ”In 2013, she donated part of her collection to the Free State of Bavaria and signed a permanent loan agreement for the other part.
