Casa MilĂ and its local name, Casa MilĂ , will host the Anselm Kiefer exhibition in Barcelona from 2 October 2026. The exhibition will remain at the GaudĂ building until 24 January 2027, giving visitors a new reason to combine contemporary art with one of Spain's best-known examples of Catalan Modernism.
Anselm Kiefer exhibition opens at Casa MilĂ on 2 October
The exhibition is organised by FundaciĂł Catalunya La Pedrera and will bring together around 40 works. Most come from the private collection of Hans Grothe, supplemented by pieces from other private collections. The organiser describes it as the first exhibition in Barcelona dedicated to Kiefer's work.
Curator Walter Smerling has assembled a selection centred on Kiefer's Opus Magnum series. The monumental showcases use objects and materials including lead, concrete, stones, tree roots and burnt books. The presentation will also include paintings devoted to Robert Fludd, the English polymath, physician and poet who lived from 1574 to 1637. The organiser's exhibition announcement for 2 October 2026 sets out the programme and dates.
Casa MilĂ 's main floor gives the exhibition its setting
The exhibition will occupy the main floor of La Pedrera, the former residence of owners Pere MilĂ and Roser Segimon. That floor is opened to the public exceptionally as an exhibition space, retaining original features such as stone columns, decorated ceilings, windows and its spacious layout.
Casa MilĂ was built by Antoni GaudĂ between 1906 and 1912 on Passeig de GrĂ cia in Barcelona. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. The building's courtyards, attic and rooftop connect the exhibition to GaudĂ's architecture, while the main floor places Kiefer's installations inside the part of the house once occupied by its original residents. The site's official history of Casa MilĂ records the construction dates and UNESCO status.
