Happy International Day of Friendship! 🌟

In 1950, Heinz Berggruen met Picasso through avant-garde poet Tristan Tzara in Paris, marking the beginning of numerous collaborations and a long-lasting friendship between the artist and the art dealer. Nineteen years later, the two friends saw each other for the last time in Cannes, where Picasso dedicated „Minotauromachy“ to his friend Berggruen.

Happy Birthday to Georges Braque! 🥳🎨

Born on May 13, 1882, in Argenteuil, France, Georges Braque, together with Pablo Picasso, is regarded as the co-founder of Cubism. After he had completed an apprenticeship as a decorator and finished studying art, Georges Braque was initially influenced by the painting of the Fauves. Greatly impressed by a retrospective of Cézanne’s work in 1907, he subsequently developed a proto-Cubist language of forms. From 1909, Braque and Picasso collaborated with one another in perfecting this idiom, making it the pictorial substructure of Cubism.

Discover more “Elective Affinities“ between the collections of Museum Berggruen and Gallerie dell’ Accademia, currently displayed in Venice. In the first installation view, we invite you to look closely at the hands of Dora Maar and Giorgione’s mother in these two intimate portraits. The second one reveals how familiar Picasso was with classic iconography, you’ll note that in this representation of an antique feast he even exaggerated the color distinction between the pale female figures and the stronger tones of the male characters.

To celebrate Earth Day on April 22, we would like to present Paul Klee’s “Landscape in Green” from 1922. Klee was an artist who was very deeply inspired by and connected to nature or his surrounding environment. Klee believed in the interconnectedness of all things and thus the power nature can hold to form our creativity and further spirituality.

In “Landscape in Green”, currently on view at in Venice as part of ‘Elective Affinities’, we can see nature and man-made structures seamlessly conjoin to form endless expanding landscape. Nature and humanity seem to be living in idyllic harmony. Let’s try to value and cherish our connection to nature just as Klee did, not just on Earth Day, but always!

Happy April Fool’s Day! 🤡 🎈🎊

Have a look at this mischievous portrayal of a ‘Sitting Harlequin’ by Pablo Picasso!

This work, painted in 1905, belongs to the series of harlequins and acrobats that Picasso painted just after his ‘Blue Period’. Did you know that Picasso’s works of harlequins and acrobats are far more than just amusing figures? They become the alter ego of the artist, whose facial features are reflected in them. Here in particular, with his Napoleonic twin-cornered hat, „Sitting Harlequin“ appears as both a sad jester and a thoughtful hero.

This work is currently displayed !

April April! 🤡 🎈🎊

Werft einen Blick auf diese verschmitzte Darstellung eines sitzenden Harlekins von Pablo Picasso!

Das Werk aus dem Jahr 1905 gehört zu der Serie von Harlekinen und Akrobaten, die Picasso kurz nach seiner „Blauen Periode“ malte. Wusstet ihr, dass Picassos Harlekine und Akrobaten weit mehr sind als nur amüsante Figuren? Sie sind das Alter Ego des Künstlers, dessen Gesichtszüge sich in ihnen widerspiegeln. Besonders hier, mit seinem napoleonischen, zweispitzigen Hut, erscheint der „Sitzende Harlekin“ sowohl als trauriger Narr als auch als nachdenklicher Held.

Dieses Werk wird derzeit in der ausgestellt!

Happy Birthday Henri Laurens!

Today we celebrate the French sculptor and illustrator, born on February 18, 1885, in Paris. Laurens was known for uniting classical and modern principles in his three-dimensional sculptures. Inspired by artists such as Auguste Rodin, Georges Braque, and Pablo Picasso, he created impressive works that continue to captivate audiences.

His early terracotta sculptures evolved into unconventional pieces using materials like sheet metal and plaster, with a generous use of color. His collaboration with Cubist artists influenced his later works, including the famous "Sirenes" series.
Let's celebrate the legacy of this talented artist! 🎨✨

Happy Birthday Heinz!

Born in Berlin in 1914, Berggruen emigrated to the USA in 1936. After the second world war, he founded a gallery in Paris, which soon became one of the leading addresses in the international art scene. In his later years, Berggruen dedicated himself to expanding his own art collection he wished to share with the world. In 1996, he opened his collection to the public in Berlin, the city he was driven out from 60 years earlier. This gesture of reconciliation deeply impressed his contemporaries.

In recognition of his contributions, Heinz Berggruen was named an honorary citizen of the city of Berlin and received the “Prize for Understanding and Tolerance” from the Jewish Museum Berlin in 2005. Today, we honor Heinz Berggruen’s legacy and his invaluable contributions to the art world. We hope that his passion for art and dedication to promoting understanding and tolerance through cultural exchange will continue to inspire us all for many more years to come.

Happy New Year!

🎉 Skip, hop and jump into the new year with Matisse’s playful masterpiece ‚Blue N**e Skipping’ from 1952!✨

Did you know that after 1948, Matisse’s ill health prevented him from painting? Despite this, he continued to create works like this one, known as gouaches découpées. These were made by cutting or tearing shapes from painted paper and pasting them down with the help of his assistant. One might say he was drawing with scissors. 👨‍🎨✂️

A female figure invites us into Matisse’s painting “The Blue Portfolio”. She reclines on a blue chaise-longue, guiding our gaze towards a blue portfolio on a chair. Between her and the portfolio we discover a table covered with fruit, flowers and a sculpture resembling a female form. Matisse masterfully unified these objects with vivid red brush strokes, creating a dynamic composition. What do you think is hidden inside the blue portfolio? // Henri Matisse, The Blue Portfolio, 1945 © Succession H.

Discover this thrilling polyphonic dialogue between 8 images and across 400 years! Here you can see in detail how 4 works constituting the panels of an altarpiece painted around 1500 by Hieronymus Bosch reveal astonishing similarities with 4 works by different artists from the Modern era that found their way into our collection. In Matisse’s Verve IV, falling figures with fiery flames mirror Bosch’s descent into hell. In both Picasso’s The Bathers and Bosch’s hell panel, creatures swim or drown with hands stretched upward in front of a sharp cliff. Cézanne’s serene female figure amidst greenery echoes the central woman with companion in Bosch’s Garden of Eden. Finally, in Klee’s abstract Bauhaus painting, off-center concentric circles resemble Bosch’s tunnel through which the righteous are being guided by angels towards the supernatural, divine light. These constellations are an absolute highlight of the dialogues between the Old Masters from the Gallerie dell’Accademia and Modern masterpieces from Museum Berggruen, exploring their ‘elective affinities.’ Don’t wait too long to see it in real, the exhibition in Venice closes on 23 June. // Hieronymus Bosch, Visions of the Hereafter, 1450 c. - 1516, Gallerie dell’Accademia, Venice Henri Matisse, “Verve IV”, no. 13 (Cover maquette), 1943 © Succession H.Matisse / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 Pablo Picasso, The Bathers, 1934 © Succession Picasso / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 Paul Cézanne, Young Women with Her Hair Unfastened, c. 1873-74 Paul Klee, Red Nuances, 1921 #museumberggruen #berggruen #hieronymusbosch #henrimatisse #pablopicasso #paulcezanne #paulklee #venice #berggrueninstitute #casadeitreoci #gallerieaccademiavenezia #berggruentreoci #art #venezia #labiennaledivenezia #biennalearte #electiveaffinities #artcollection #exhibition #artmuseum #artexhibition #artinitaly

🎨 Exploring Boundaries: Picasso’s Sculptural Journey Pablo Picasso worked with a wide range of materials and techniques to explore the possibilities of sculpture. He combined everyday objects such as a fork or the handle of a wicker basket assembling them to a crane which was subsequently cast into a bronze sculpture. Ceramics was another important medium for Picasso, which allowed him to combine painting and sculpture. The sculpture “Musician” that appears last in the video resembles a line drawing that has stepped out of a sheet of paper. The model that formed the basis for this bronze was cut out of thin slices of clay. // Pablo Picasso, The Crane, 1952 © Succession Picasso / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 Pablo Picasso, Bullfight, 1953 © Succession Picasso / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 Pablo Picasso, Musician, 1961 © Succession Picasso / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 #museumberggruen #berggruen #collection #picasso #sculpture #artisticinnovation #ceramicsculpture #artisticexploration #mixedmediaart #modernart #artisticgenius #creativeprocess #artisticjourney

This beautiful watercolor by Cézanne shows the portrait of a “Boy wearing peaked cap” from 1877. The boys thoughtful almost melancholic expression gives the impression of someone who is far beyond his age. Nevertheless, Cézanne’s free brushstrokes, quick pencil marks and instinctive use of color embodies the essence of youthful charm. 🎨✨ 👦 This work will be part of the exhibition Elective Affinities @gallerieaccademiavenezia and @berggruentreoci in Venice from March 24th until June 23rd – stay tuned for more details. / Paul Cézanne, Boy wearing a peaked cap, 1877, ©bpk / Museum Berggruen, Private Collection #muesumberggruen #berggruen #paulcezanne #cezanne #fatherandson #watercolor #artoftheday #artlover #artcollection #youth #melancholic #freebrushstrokes #family #portrait

Bernard Ruiz Picasso, grandson of Pablo Picasso, recalls the opening ceremony of Museum Berggruen on 6 September 1996: “Most importantly, I remember Heinz’s joy. He was so extremely happy and proud to inaugurate the museum that meant so much to him. His joy, he spread it to all guests present for the occasion, and how delightful it was to see these works that he had collected with such a passion. Still today, every time I visit the museum or that I see one of the works from its collection on loan to an exhibition, I say to myself: What an eye he had! What perceptiveness in his choices! This collection is an homage to the art of the 20th century, and I thank him profoundly for giving us so much pleasure.” @faba_arte Photo of Bernard Ruiz Picasso and Heinz Berggruen ©Berggruen Archive #museumbergguren #heinzberggruen #bernardruizpicasso #picasso #museopicassomálaga #faba_arte #chateaudeboisgeloup #artmuseum #history #anecdote #culturalheritage #friends #arthistory #artcollection #artlovers

In the summer of 1921, Pablo Picasso worked in a garage studio in Fontainebleau, France. Inspired by the Italian Mannerist painter Rosso Fiorentino, after whose model murals could be found in the residence palace of Fontainebleau, the artist created this drawing, which combines a nymph, a dog and a clay vessel in a triangular composition. Picassos months in Fontainebleau are seen as a pivotal turning point for the artist’s creative output, where on his return to Paris he left critics baffled with his new compositions. Last chance to catch ‘Picasso in Fontainebleau’ at @themuseumofmodernart. The exhibition closes on the 17th of February and features one of our works ‘Women and dog’ by Pablo Picasso from 1921. / Pablo Picasso, Women and dog, 1921 © Succession Picasso / VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2024 #Museumberggruen #museumofmodernart #moma #heinzberggruen #pablopicasso #picasso #collaboration #masterpiece #artlover #artisticcollaboration

Gain more of an insight into the heritage of our museum! Have a look at what Alex Berggruen has to say about his Grandfather Heinz: “I had the great pleasure of knowing my grandfather, Heinz, as a child and adolescent. I loved seeing the way in which he lived with art at home and took such joy in walking through his collection at the museum - a joy that never wavered, and, in fact, only continued to grow over his entire life. That enthusiasm planted the seeds of interest in the world of art for my dad, John, and for me, too, certainly. I remember the way in which my grandfather would find amusement and humour in the small details of a Klee painting or the elongated bronze forms of a Giacometti sculpture. It seemed to me that he was curious about the mysteries a work of art might hold and the sheer enjoyment one could find in attempting to solve those mysteries.” // @alexanderberggruen @alexberggruen Photo of Heinz und Alex Berggruen, 2004 © Berggruen Archive #museumberggruen #heinzberggruen #alexberggruen #culturalheritage #artlover #artcollector #family #grandson #history

Did you know that George Braque was drafted into military service in 1914, the same year he created the painting Still Life with Pipe? This also marked the abrupt end to his collaboration with Pablo Picasso in their exploration of Cubism.

Our Story

Das Museum Berggruen ergänzt auf das Sinnfälligste die Sammlungen Klassischer Moderne der Neuen Nationalgalerie, vor allem mit seinen einzigartigen Werken von Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse und Alberto Giacometti. Es ist ebenso wie die gegenüberliegende Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg privater Sammelleidenschaft zu verdanken. Beide Ausstellungsorte der Nationalgalerie, der überdies die Häuser Alte Nationalgalerie, Neue Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin und Friedrichswerdersche Kirche angehören, sind in Charlottenburg zu finden.

Die Gebäude des Museum Berggruen und der Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg entstanden 1851 bis 1859 im Auftrag Friedrich Wilhelms IV. Ihr Architekt Friedrich August Stüler entwarf später auch die Alte Nationalgalerie. Städtebaulich nehmen die klassizistischen Zwillingsbauten mit ihren Kuppeln Bezug auf das gegenüberliegende Schloss Charlottenburg und bilden den Auftakt zur Schloßstraße.

Die Funktion beider Häuser war gleichermaßen praktisch wie ästhetisch: Sie nahmen die Offizierkasernen der Gardes du Corps auf und lenkten gleichzeitig den Blick von den nahen Stallgebäuden ab. 1929 zog die "Polizeischule Charlottenburg" in den westlichen Stülerbau, in das benachbarte Kommandantenhaus am Spandauer Damm 17 und in das Mannschaftsgebäude an der Schloßstraße 1a (dem heutigen Bröhan-Museum). 1937 wurde die Polizeischule zur "Führerschule der Sicherheitspolizei". Im Zweiten Weltkrieg stark beschädigt, wurden beide Stülerbauten bis 1958 wiederhergestellt. Zwei Jahre später zog die Antikensammlung in das westliche der Häuser ein.

Als nach dem Mauerfall die Antikensammlung auf die Museumsinsel Berlin zurückkehren sollte, bot der damalige Generaldirektor der Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin, Wolf-Dieter Dube, dem Galeristen und Privatsammler Heinz Berggruen das Gebäude als Ausstellungsort für seine Kollektion an, die dieser den Staatlichen Museen zu Berlin 1995 als Leihgabe für zehn Jahre überließ. Die hierfür notwendigen Umbauten führte das Architekturbüro Hilmer & Sattler und Albrecht aus. Die Sammlung Berggruen, seit 2004 Museum Berggruen, entwickelte sich nach ihrer Eröffnung im September 1996 rasch zum Publikumsmagneten. 2000 konnte die Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz mit Mitteln des Bundes und des Landes Berlin die Sammlung für die Nationalgalerie erwerben.

Nach dem Tod Heinz Berggruens 2007 erklärte sich seine Familie bereit, weitere Werke als Leihgabe zur Verfügung zu stellen und das Museum künftig durch eigene Erwerbungen zu ergänzen. Daraufhin erweiterte das Architekturbüro Kuehn Malvezzi bis 2013 das Museum um das benachbarte Kommandantenhaus am Spandauer Damm und um einen hofseitig neu angelegten Skulpturengarten. Ein gläserner Gang verbindet nun die beiden historischen Gebäude miteinander.

Der Bettina Berggruen Garten ist zu den Besuchszeiten des Museums öffentlich zugänglich.

---------

The Museum Berggruen forms an ideal and natural complement to the collection of modern art held at the Neue Nationalgalerie, most particularly with its singular works by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, and Alberto Giacometti. Similar to the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg located across from it, the museum owes its existence to a private individual’s passion for collecting art. Situated in Berlin-Charlottenburg in the west of the city, both exhibition venues belong to the Nationalgalerie and are joined by its other entities the Alte Nationalgalerie, Neue Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin, and Friedrichswerdersche Kirche to form an organizational whole.

The buildings that currently house the Museum Berggruen and Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg were originally commissioned by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. They took eight years to build and were completed in 1859. Their architect, Friedrich August Stüler, later went on to design the Alte Nationalgalerie. The twin buildings were designed in the Neoclassical style and were each crowned with a large cupola. They were conceived as a structural counterpoint to Schloss Charlottenburg on the opposite side of the road and flank the entrance to Schloßstraße.

Both buildings served a function that was as practical as it was aesthetic: they housed the officer barracks of the Gardes du Corps while at the same time diverting the view from the nearby stables. In 1929 the Charlottenburg police academy moved into the western Stülerbau, the adjoining commandant’s quarters at Spandauer Damm 17, and the legion’s quarters at Schlossstrasse 1a (now home to the Bröhan Museum). In 1937, the police academy became the 'Senior Academy for the Security Police'. After being severely damaged in the Second World War, Stüler’s buildings had to be extensively restored, with work completed in 1958. Two years later, the Antikensammlung moved into the western building.

Once it became clear that, as a consequence of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Antikensammlung and its collection of Antique sculptures and artefacts would return to their original home, the Museumsinsel Berlin, the director-general of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin at the time, Wolf-Dieter Dube, made an offer to Heinz Berggruen, gallerist and private collector, that he could use the newly vacant building as a place to exhibit his collection, which he then presented to the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in 1995 as a ten-year loan. The architectural practice Hilmer & Sattler und Albrecht were then assigned the task of carrying out the necessary conversion work. Within months of its opening in September 1996, the Berggruen Collection, known from 2004 onwards as the Museum Berggruen, became a major attraction among the art-loving public. In the year 2000, the Stiftung Preussischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage) managed to purchase the collection for the Nationalgalerie with funding from the German government and the state of Berlin.

After the death of Heinz Berggruen in 2007, his family agreed to make further works available to the Nationalgalerie as loans and to continue supporting the museum with new accessions to the collection. With the family’s backing thus secured, Kuehn Malvezzi architects were commissioned to expand the museum to include the neighbouring building, the former commandant’s quarters on Spandauer Damm, and a newly landscaped sculpture garden to the rear of both properties. The newly expanded museum opened in 2013. A glass corridor now connects the two historical buildings.

The Bettina Berggruen Garden is accessible to the public during museum opening times.
