Dedicated exclusively to twentieth- and twenty-first-century art, the Museum Frieder Burda concentrates on Classical Modernism and contemporary art with a collection of about 1,000 paintings, sculptures, photographs, and works on paper.
The striking building was designed by architect Richard Meier to represent the spirit of the collection itself, to maximize the effects of changing natural light on the art displayed here, and to fit into the landscape of the Lichtentaler Allee Park.
The collection itself is a very personal one inspired by Frieder Burda's fascination for color and of the emotional expressive qualities of painting.
