Newest addition to Munich's collection of museums is the Museum Brandhorst. The new museum – an eye-catching polychromatic rectangle by Berlin architects Sauerbruch Hutton – houses the collection of German and international modern art built up by Udo and Anette Brandhorst. The exhibits include works by such major international figures as Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly and Damien Hirst, as well as by major contemporary German artists such as Gerhard Richter and Georg Baselitz. From the outset, the Brandhorsts were interested in the connection between visual and literary art, and thus one of the museum's prize possessions is a collection of 112 first editions of books illustrated by Picasso, which represents most of the artist's output in this field.
