Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959) is one of the most celebrated representatives of his generation. He received international recognition for his “Angry Girls”: stylized depictions of large-headed girls with captivating eyes and threatening, defiant and angry, or melancholy and insecure expressions that became his signature works—and are now considered icons of contemporary painting. In the exhibition “Yoshitomo Nara”, the artist’s first large retrospective in Germany, the Museum Frieder Burda presents paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations from the last four de...
With the exhibition Poetry of Light, the Museum Frieder Burda is celebrating one of the great pioneers of Abstract Expressionism: the painter, sculptor and photographer Richard Pousette-Dart (1916–1992). Around 140 works from six decades provide an opulent overview of the multifaceted oeuvre of one of the most important artists of American postwar abstraction.
Alongside colleagues such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Pousette-Dart played a prominent role in the formation of the New York Schoo...
Until today the colorful imagery of Impressionism fascinates like no other art movement. The new type of painting, which emerged in 1860s France, is characterized by vibrant, high-keyed colors and the deployment of energetic, sketch-like brushstrokes. With Max Liebermann (1847–1935) as its famous figurehead, the revolutionary movement soon became the leading avantgarde in the German Empire. In terms of motifs, its artists explored a wide range of themes – from sun-drenched landscapes and atmospheric figure paintings to carefully arranged still lifes. The exhibition is a cooperation with the Museum Barberini in Potsdam and brin...
In order to maintain the integral nature of the Collection and make it accessible to the public, a museum was built in Frieder Burda's home city of Baden-Baden. The plans have been drafted by the New York architect Richard Meier. The Museum Frieder Burda was inaugurated in the autumn of 2004 and will be fully financed and run by the Foundation Frieder Burda which was established in 1998.
The new museum for twentieth- and twenty-first-century art has been designed to integrate into the lush landscape of the Lichtentaler Allee Park and, at the same time, to harmonize in scale with the classical profile of the adjacent Staatliche Kunsthalle in Baden-Baden. Great efforts were taken to preserve as many trees as possible on the site, so that the Museum Frieder Burda would be harmoniously incorporated into the nature surrounding it. The overall form and proportions of the new building correspond to the elevated plinth and entablature of the Neoclassical Kunsthalle, but each institution maintains its own tectonic identity.
The Museum Frieder Burda offers its visitors a diverse education programme for all age groups. In addition to regular public tours of the current exhibitions, we also offer private tours with experienced art educators. These tours, which are non-refundable and must be reserved in advance, include immediate entry to exhibitions without waiting or queueing.
Salon Berlin was Museum Frieder Burda’s new exhibition and project space at the Auguststraße 11- 13 in Berlin. Closely connected with the Museum in Baden-Baden, Salon Berlin, under the curatorial direction of Patricia Kamp, presented the diverse aspects of the museum programme and the Frieder Burda Collection. The exhibition space saw itself as a forum for international contemporary art, both a showroom and a space for experimentation for Museum Frieder Burda.
More than just a museum store. In addition to catalogs, art prints and posters, the Museum Frieder Burda Concept Store offers a wide range of exclusive jewelry as well as highly decorative furnishings such as vases, tableware, textiles and even individual pieces of furniture. The idea behind the concept: Everything you see can be bought.
The Concept Store can also be visited without a museum ticket. Simply contact our staff in the checkout area.
