Anselm Kiefer Pavilion, Museum Würth 2

About this place

This pavilion in the sculpture garden of Museum Würth 2, at the Carmen Würth Forum in Künzelsau, exists for one work: Anselm Kiefer's Schwarze Flocken (Black Flakes, 2007), the largest Kiefer in the Würth Collection. At about 11 metres tall and 7.1 metres wide, the painting was too big to show anywhere else, and it went on public display for the first time when the pavilion opened in October 2026. David Chipperfield Architects, who also designed the Carmen Würth Forum, made the pavilion as a single monolithic volume with bush-hammered concrete walls that match the forum's buildings. Kiefer and the architects worked out the room's proportions, openings and wall colour together, so the space is tuned to the painting's scale and its snowy, ash-dark field. It is a room for standing still in front of one picture. Combine it with Museum Würth 2's exhibitions and the forum grounds.
