K21 presents the international contemporary art collection of the Kunstsammlung North Rhine-Westphalia and is located in the former Ständehaus by the Kaiserteich in Düsseldorf.

The collection includes photographs by Thomas Struth, sculptures by Thomas Schütte, and video art by Robert Wilson, among others.

A key highlight is Reinhard Mucha’s “Das Deutschlandgerät” (The Germany Device, 1990/2021), installed in the former plenary hall since K21 opened in 2002.

This work reflects the historical dimensions of contemporary artistic practice.
