Museum Frieder Burda
The Museum Frieder Burda is an art museum in Baden-Baden , which was built according to a design by the architect Richard Meier and opened in October 2004. The private collector's museum is adjacent to the Kunsthalle Baden-Baden in the Lichtentaler Allee . In addition to works of classical modernism and contemporary art from the collection of the client and founder Frieder Burda , special exhibitions are regularly shown.
Frieder Burda Foundation, board member and museum director
So that Frieder Burda could preserve his art collection and make it accessible to the public, he founded the "Frieder Burda Foundation" in 1998. The purpose of the foundation is to promote art, culture and science. Originally he planned a museum for the "Frieder Burda Collection" in Mougins in the south of France , the last and long-term residence of Pablo Picasso , where Burda also had his second residence. In the end, however, he decided to build a new museum in Baden-Baden, his primary residence. Since 2004, the foundation has also paid its running costs in full.
Klaus Gallwitz was founding director from 2004 to 2006 under the Foundation Board member Frieder Burda, followed by Götz Adriani as artistic director and, from 2014, Helmut Friedel . In May 2017, Frieder Burda, who died in the summer of 2019, appointed the museum manager Henning Schaper as director and also appointed him to the foundation's board, on which Elke Burda and her son Dominic Kamp are also represented. Frieder Burda recently passed responsibility for his collection to his stepdaughter Patricia Kamp, who opened the “ Berliner Salon ” branch of the Frieder Burda Museum in the former Jewish Girls' School in Berlin .
architecture
The American architect Richard Meier designed a light, open building with two large halls, two cabinets and a basement. As in Meier's older museum buildings, the three floors are accessed via accessible ramps. The museum is connected by a glass bridge to the 100 years older building of the Staatliche Kunsthalle by Hermann Billing , whose sequence of smaller and larger rooms is still considered a particularly successful example of well-proportioned and functional museum architecture. The Brücke program is also in terms of content: there are joint exhibitions that span both museums.
The new building with around 1000 square meters of exhibition space cost around 15 million euros. No public funds were used for the two-year construction. The museum was built by the Baden-Baden architect Peter W. Kruse.
After the construction project and the first plans by the Basel architectural office Steib + Steib for the construction of the private collector's museum were long controversial due to the overbuilding of a part of the historic parks on Lichtentaler Allee , the harmonious integration of the open structure into the avenue came after Richard Meier's project was completed to wide approval.

Collection and exhibitions
The Frieder Burda Collection currently comprises around 1,000 works of classical modernism and contemporary art, including paintings, sculptures, objects and works on paper. The focus is on: German Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism, German painting from 1960, Picasso, painting from 1990. When the museum opened, the collection was shown for the first time in its main focus areas. The opening exhibition in the new building and the adjoining Baden-Baden State Art Gallery comprised around 150 of a total of 550 works of art at the time.
In May 2015, the museum issued image No. 36 (Black Stripe) (1958) by Mark Rothko to Christie's in the New York auction, where it was bought by an unknown bidder for $ 40.485 million. The museum then has two pictures from Rothko's early work.
