Der nun erscheinende Band erzählt, was den Sammler Frieder Burda dazu bewogen hat, eine einzigartige Kollektion von Kunst des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts zusammenzutragen. Von Gerhard Richter über Sigmar Polke bis Georg Baselitz, von Picasso bis Fontana: Gleichzeitig gibt der Band einen Einblick in Werke und Schaffen wichtiger, dort vertretener Künstler. Berlin, 17. Juni 2019 – Von Mougins nach Baden-Baden zeichnet den Bogen eines schillernden Lebens für die Kunst: das Leben Frieder Burdas (*1936 in Gengenbach), der – als Spross eines großen deutschen Medienunternehmens – eine herausragende Sammlung mit den Schwerpunkten Deutscher Expressionismus, Abstrakter Expressionismus, Deutsche Malerei nach 1960 und Kunst nach 1990 aufbaute. Bis heute wird sie immer wieder unter neuen Gesichtspunkten und in neuen Kontexten in seinem von Richard Meier erbauten Museum an der Lichtentaler Allee in Baden-Baden präsentiert. Reich bebildert zeigt das Buch den Lebensweg eines Mannes, der seine eigene Berufung findet und dieser konsequent folgt. Gewissermaßen als Autodidakt kommt Frieder Burda in den späten 1960er Jahren Schritt für Schritt mit der Kunstwelt in Berührung, ist ihr aber mit der Zeit immer enger verbunden – bis er schließlich aus seiner Wahlheimat Frankreich nach Baden-Baden zurückgeht, wo er den Grundstein für sein weltberühmtes Museum Frieder Burda legt. So wird die Erzählung der Geschichte seines Lebenswerks auch zu einer Erzählung über die Kunst im 20. Jahrhundert und darüber hinaus. Frieder Burda beschreibt diese schrittweise Annäherung als Entwicklung: „Das Selbstvertrauen, gute Bilder zu erkennen, hat sich ganz langsam aufgebaut. Man kann lernen, ein Bild zu beurteilen. Irgendwann erkennt man die Qualität. Man muss nur sehr viel sehen – auch viel Schlechtes.“ Die Autorin Bernadette Schoog, bekannt als Journalistin und Fernsehmoderatorin, zeichnet im Detail nach, wie sich aus dem spontanen Erwerb eines Werkes von Lucio Fontana im Anschluss an die documenta 4 in Kassel im Jahre 1968 eine lebenslange Leidenschaft für die Kunst entwickelte und wie das Zeitgeschehen den Sammler und die Künstler der Sammlung immer wieder beeinflusste. Das Buch erzählt die Geschichte dieses Lebenswerks, bietet aber auch einen Überblick über das Schaffen wichtiger Künstler der Sammlung und stellt Verbindungslinien und Kontexte her. Den Text des nun erscheinenden Bandes ergänzen über 100 Abbildungen aus der Sammlung Frieder Burda.

    Press Release Berlin December 4, 2014 SeptemberNovember 2013 November20132014 “…..Höhere Wesen befehlen” The Frieder Burda Collection at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle From December 5, 2014 to March 8, 2015, the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle is showing a selection of works on paper from the Frieder Burda Collection that have been rarely shown so far. The KunstHalle is presenting 113 drawings, watercolors, and goauches from 1955 to 2009 by Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer, Neo Rauch, and Gerhard Richter. Over a period of decades, Frieder Burda has passionately built one of the most important private collections in Europe, extending from Abstract Expressionism to current inter- national positions. It all began with the Italian avant-garde painter Lucio Fontana in 1968. At the Documenta, Frieder Burda discovered a bright red canvas with three incisions in it. The entrepreneur from Germany’s famous printing and publishing dynasty couldn’t get the painting out of his mind. It became the cornerstone of the collection. The first artist shown in the exhibition is Willem de Kooning, representing the heroes of Abstract Expressionism. The main part features four artists of whom Burda is one of the world’s most important collectors: Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Arnulf Rainer, and Gerhard Richter. The exhibition concludes with early period works on paper by Neo Rauch, who renewed figuration as the first painter of a reunited Germany. With this selection of works on paper, the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Burda Collection and the tenth anniversary of the Museum in Baden-Baden by continuing a series that is dedicated to drawing—a long-neglected medium that today characterizes contemporary artistic discourse more than any other – from different perspectives.

Delighted but rare. So what of the Bucher Jaegar dynasty? The Bucher Jaegar gallery in Paris is one of the oldest modern and contemporary art galleries in Europe. Opened in 1925 by Jeanne Bucher, it survived the death of its founder thanks to the enthusiasm and admiration of her great-nephew, Jean-François Jaeger. Much later the torch was taken up by his daughter, Véronique Jaeger, which she still carries today.

Text by Tessel M. Bauduin, Daniel Birnbaum, Briony Fer, Vivien Greene, David Max Horowitz, Andrea Kollnitz, Helen Molesworth, Julia Voss. When Swedish artist Hilma af Klint died in 1944 at the age of 81, she left behind more than 1,000 paintings and works on paper that she had kept largely private during her lifetime. Believing the world was not yet ready for her art, she stipulated that it should remain unseen for another 20 years. But only in recent decades has the public had a chance to reckon with af Klint’s radically abstract painting practice—one which predates the work of Vasily Kandinsky and other artists widely considered trailblazers of modernist abstraction. Her boldly colorful works, many of them large-scale, reflect an ambitious, spiritually informed attempt to chart an invisible, totalizing world order through a synthesis of natural and geometric forms, textual elements and esoteric symbolism.

    Press release Museum Frieder Burda Opens “Salon Berlin” A new space for encounters, exchange and inspiration: Salon Berlin by Museum Frieder Burda, one of Germany’s most successful private museums, serves as a showroom for the museum and its collection, thus opening a window to Baden-Baden, where the focus remains on an extensive programme of exhibitions. (The exhibition “The Candle”, with works by Gerhard Richter, Thomas Demand, Robert Gober, Jeff Koons and Andreas Slominski, among others, begins on 22 October 2016). Closely connected with its parent museum in Baden-Baden, Salon Berlin, under the curatorial direction of Patricia Kamp, presents the diverse aspects of the museum programme and the Frieder Burda collection. The exhibition space also sees itself as a forum for international contemporary art. It simultaneously represents a display window and an experimental room for the Museum Frieder Burda. Topical thematic exhibitions, solo presentations and events place the Salon Berlin in dialogue with the capital’s vibrant art scene. Its opening revives an old and proud tradition in the city – in contemporary form at a historical place in the midst of Berlin’s most lively art quarter. Salon Berlin is located in the former School for Jewish Girls in Auguststrasse. The complex, located directly opposite the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, has already been introduced in an artistic context at the 4th Berlin Biennale 2006. It has been home to a range of art institutions and galleries for several years. The bar and restaurant on the premises and its direct proximity to various other artistic outlets in the neighbourhood make the place perfect in terms of location and space.
