The Collection
The Brandhorst Collection houses more than 1,200 works by international artists and spans an arc from the late 1950s to the present day. Europe's largest collection of works by Andy Warhol and the world's most extensive holdings of works by Cy Twombly are the cornerstones of the collection. Further highlights include outstanding holdings of artists of the 1960s and 70s neo-avant-garde such as Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter or Bruce Nauman; the postmodernism of figures like Jeff Koons, Mike Kelley or Cady Noland; as well as groups of works by international contemporary painters such as Laura Owens, Jacqueline Humphries, Monika Baer or Wade Guyton. An annual acquisition budget from the Udo and Anette Brandhorst Foundation enables the museum to systematically and programmatically expand its collection of contemporary art into the future. Here you can learn more about the exciting history of the collection and what works are currently on display in the museum.
