Housed in a gleaming , airy Richard Meier building on the edge of a park , the museum is the creation of Frieder Burda , scion of one of Germany 's pre-eminent printing and magazine publishing families , who has spent the last 35 years using his share of the family fortune to amass a mostly German Expressionist collection , from Max Beckmann to Gerhard Richter , Sigmar Polke and Georg Baselitz .
