cultural commitment to the exhibition of international contemporary art
in Freiburg and the direct surroundings.
On a newly constructed side of approx. 900 m², employees, customers and
art-lovers are welcome to visit the exhibition with words from the private
"Rosskopf Collection", dedicated to radical monochromatic painting of the last two
decades during its opening hours.
The Kunstraum Alexander Bürkle is dedicated to sharing this commitment with
its employees and customers in particular, and as a separate entity from the traditional
art institutions.
