A selection of works from the Collection Frieder Burda will be on display at the Museum Frieder Burda, making for an inspiring encounter with important works from its inventory, as well as with recently acquired paintings.
The exhibition, entitled “There Is Something About These Pictures…”, will comprise more than 100 paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs and art installations by Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko, Gerhard Richter, Anselm Kiefer, Isa Genzken, Neo Rauch, Robert Rauschenberg, Sigmar Polke, Willem de Kooning, Gregory Crewdson, Anton Henning, Nedko Solakov, Axel Hütte, as well as by Johannes Hüppi, John Chamberlain and William N. Copley. The title of this exhibition refers to a quotation by the collector Frieder Burda, while talking about his passion for art and the intuitive way in which he built his collection.
The Collection Frieder Burda numbers among Europe’s major private art collections. It is so multifaceted that every new encounter offers a wide range of new perceptions and perspectives. The exhibition will be co-curated by the young art historian Patricia Kamp and Jean-Christophe Ammann, the former director of the Museum for Modern Art (Museum für Moderne Kunst) in Frankfurt. The presentation takes risks by boldly relating works in such a way that emphasis is placed on both the qualitative potential of the collection as well as the willingness, so to speak, of the works to respond to one another. What the two curators have developed is a statement of faith in the ability of the pictures to enter into a direct dialogue. Yet they first and foremost take up the collector’s vision that the pictures not only do something to him, the collector, but that they also have something to do with each other.
