Brandhorst, Munich

"The Brandhorst Musem is a rather new but highly respectable German museum of contemporary art."

It was opened in 2009 by the German state of Bavaria in order to house and showcase incredible contemporary art collection of Anette Brandhorst and her husband Udo Fritz-Hermann, heirs of Fritz Henkel, founder of the famous German chemical company. Brandhorst’s extraordinary collection, which was donated to the state after the death of Anette Brandhorst, includes a comprehensive selection of groundbreaking artworks created by artists such as Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, Gerhard Richter, Damien Hirst, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Alex Katz. The museum’s unique two-story building, with its multi-colored facade composed of thousands of ceramic louvers glazed in different colors, houses three separate exhibition areas that are connected by stairs.
