The Museum Frieder Burda built by New York star architect Richard Meier is the outstanding jewel in the world-famous parks and garden “Lichtentaler Allee”. Not only is its fascinating architecture unique but also the private collection, which disposes moreover of many magic moments of art with selected masterpieces of the Classical Modernism. From March 1st until June 29th the museum will show projects of one of the most innovative representatives of international and contemporary art – the French artist “JR”. JR’s most important motivation is interaction with other people. His works raise questions about freedom and identity and in how far art can change people’s perception of themselves and their environment.
