The Facts

The Kunsthalle Würth will present the monographic exhibition “Anselm Kiefer – All That Is the Case” from October 16, 2026, marking the museum’s 25th anniversary. The exhibition brings together more than 70 works by Anselm Kiefer from the Würth Collection and 21 works on loan from the artist’s studio. It ranges from early works of the 1960s and 1970s to large-scale installations, including the recent acquisition “Anselm fuit hic” (2017–2024), a tribute to the landscapes of the artist’s childhood. The Anselm Kiefer Pavilion is open at Museum Würth 2 in Künzelsau. The first Kiefer work entered the Würth Collection in 1996, and the collector Reinhold Würth built a close relationship with the artist over decades.

The Signal

The exhibition underscores the deep, long-standing relationship between collector Reinhold Würth and Anselm Kiefer, one of the defining artists in the Würth Collection. For collectors and museum professionals, the show demonstrates how sustained institutional commitment to a single artist can yield a substantial body of work, spanning nearly sixty years of practice. The inclusion of recent acquisitions alongside loans from the artist’s studio signals continuing investment in Kiefer’s evolving output, making the exhibition a potential benchmark for understanding his material and thematic range.
