To experience works of art that are not otherwise accessible to the public—this is made possible by the initiative Art in Private! for the sixth time this year. On the weekend of June 19th—20th, 2010, Hessian businesses and finance-related institutions invite the public to take part in guided tours through their collections—Deutsche Bank as well. "The goal of our global commitment to art is to make contemporary art’s innovative potential accessible to an even wider public," stressed Friedhelm Hütte, Global Head of Art. "We achieve this by opening our important collection, by putting on worldwide exhibitions, and through cooperations such as our current participation in the initiative Art in Private!"
This year’s program offers visitors a last opportunity to see the art installment in Deutsche Bank’s temporary headquarters, the IBC-C on Theodor Heuss Allee. This fall, the bank will be moving back into the towers at Taunusanlage, which are currently undergoing major renovation to become one of the most environment-friendly high-rises in the world. At the IBC-C, along with important works by "classics" such as Gerhard Richter, Georg Baselitz, and Joseph Beuys, are also many young international artistic positions. Artists like Matt Saunders, Simon Periton, and Ellen Gallagher combine drawing and painting with various different techniques and new aesthetic and conceptual strategies. Photography plays a key role at the IBC-C as well; an entire floor is dedicated to the medium. Here, Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth, representatives of the "Duesseldorf School," encounter the next generation: Delia Keller, Martin Liebscher, and Wolfgang Tillmans. Many of the artists in the Deutsche Bank Collection were collected early on—long before they achieved international renown.
