Anselm Kiefer has a building of his own. On 13 October 2026, Museum Würth 2 in Künzelsau, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, opened a permanent pavilion dedicated to the artist's large-format work 'Schwarze Flocken' (Black Flakes), which is on public view for the first time, according to KUNSTFORUM International.

The pavilion is a concrete cube designed specifically for the presentation of the 11-by-7-metre work by the internationally renowned architect David Chipperfield. With the painting, Kiefer invokes the poem of the same name by Paul Celan, in which the poet confronts traumatic experiences of the Holocaust era. The architecture deliberately recedes so that the work can dominate the encounter.

The opening deepens the long relationship between Kiefer and the Würth Collection, one of Europe's most active private collections, which holds extensive groups of his work. Admission to the pavilion is free, and it is open daily from 10am to 6pm, placing a major new Kiefer work in permanent public reach rather than in storage or on the loan circuit.

For an artist whose monumental paintings are more often experienced as temporary loans to blockbuster exhibitions, a purpose-built permanent setting is a notable institutional commitment, and a sign of the collector Reinhold Würth's continued investment in large-scale contemporary art in the region. The work measures 11 by 7 metres, so the pavilion functions essentially as a container for a single painting. Museum Wurth 2 is one of 14 venues across Europe where the Wurth Collection is shown free of charge, and the pavilion extends the collector Reinhold Wurth's long-standing commitment to Kiefer's work.
