Museum Frieder Burda

The latest jewel in the Baden-Baden crown

The gallery, situated on the town’s famous avenue, the Lichtentaler Allee, housing the Museum Frieder Burda, is a sparkling jewel in the Baden-Baden crown. The building itself is outstanding; a naturally lit museum, designed by the famous New York architect, Richard Meier. And the collection within also hosts its fair share of masterpieces, among the 500 paintings, sketches, sculptures and objects, which trace the history of art over the past 100 years.

A part of the collection focuses on Classical Modern art, with works by German expressionists such as Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and August Macke. There is also a selection of late works by Pablo Picasso. American abstract expressionism is also featured with action paintings by Jackson Pollock, and meditative works by Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko. The core of the collection, however, centers around German post war artists, such as Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter.


From February 18th until June 10th the museum shows works of the American “William N. Copley” (1919-1996), a successful mediator between the surrealism and the pop art. From June 23rd to November 4th, the Museum Frieder Burda will present paintings and sculptures of the French contemporary artists Fernand Léger (1881-1955) and Henri Laurens (1885-1954).
