Anish
Kapoor
The Deutsche Bank Series at the Guggenheim
October 21, 2009 - March 28, 2010 |
Part of the unique
partnership between Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim
Foundation, this ambitious program of contemporary art commissions
continues with Anish Kapoor's installation, Memory. The fourteenth
commission project to be completed since the program's inception,
Memory was originally displayed at the Deutsche Guggenheim in
Berlin and will come to New York's Guggenheim Museum in October
2009. Memoryis described as “an intervention in the gallery
that prevents any one complete viewing or experience of the
work. Fabricated of 24 tons of rusting Cor-Ten steel, with industrial
tiles and bolts exposed, the sculpture loosely resembles a balloon
or egg-shaped object. The sculpture’s steel surface engages
the extremities of two of the gallery walls, including the ceiling,
with the utmost precision.” This is the Guggenheim Foundation's
first collaboration with this celebrated artist, and the continuation
of a strong partnership between Kapoor and Deutsche Bank.

Richard
Prince: Spiritual America
Solomon R. Guggenheim
Museum
September 28, 2007 - January 9, 2008 |
  In
his appropriation-based practice,
Richard Prince makes it new by making it again. Although his
photographs, paintings, drawings, and sculptures are primarily
recycled from popular culture's inexhaustible well of anonymous
imagery-through the selection,cropping, sequencing, and grouping
of the material - a deeply personal perception is clearly conveyed,
along with an incisive commentary on present-day America.
The exhibition Richard Prince: Spiritual America focuses on
the themes and iconography of the artist's work. Deutsche Bank
is delighted to be sponsoring the first comprehensive exhibition
of Prince's oeuvre in the United States since 1992-a presentation
that will fill the museum's rotunda and adjacent galleries.
Support for important exhibitions of artists such as Constantin
Brancusi, James Rosenquist, and David Smith, as well as the
joint management of the Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin, which
includes the commissioning of site-specific works by established
and emerging artists, have been the focus of Deutsche Bank's
collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation as a
Global Partner since 1997.
The sponsorship of Richard Prince: Spiritual America is part
of Deutsche Bank's ongoing art program, which supports living
artists through acquisitions, commissioned artworks, and exhibition
patronage. Today, the Deutsche Bank Collection is the world's
largest international corporate collection, comprising more
than 50,000 works of art. Deutsche Bank organizes exhibitions
of works from the collection that tour museums around the world,
and the program also comprises funding for prestigious international
projects such as the German Pavilion at the 52nd International
Venice Biennale and the Frieze Art Fair in London.
The aim of these activities is to help make a substantial contribution
to the cultural life of our cities, as well as to present the
work of remarkable and distinguished artists to the public,
our clients, and staff members. In this way, Deutsche Bank seeks
to foster positive growth in urban communities and promote corporate
social responsibility.

Miwa Yanagi |
May 3 - June 30, 2007
Miwa Yanagi received international acclaim for her 1992 series
of photographs, Elevator Girls, which explored consumer
culture and the role of women in Japanese society. Using color
photography, computer-generated images, and video, Yanagi continues
to explore the female psyche, constraint and liberation, and
the intersection of fantasy and reality. Her following series,
My Grandmothers, features images of her young Japanese
models imagining themselves fifty years into the future. The
most recent works further question women's relationship to each
other in Fairy Tales, based on the famous myths of
the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen.

Gordon Matta-Clark: "You Are the Measure" |
February 22 - June 3, 2007
Deutsche Bank is partnering with the Whitney Museum in a major
retrospective of this important but under-recognized sculptural
and installation artist of the twentieth century. Gordon Matta-Clark
worked at a time in the history of New York City when urban
life was in decline and the physical infrastructure was one
of deterioration and abandonment. With a combination of humor
and passion, Matta-Clark's art invited viewers to look closely
and critically at their surroundings-drawing attention to vital
social concerns regarding architecture, public space, and the
marketplace. Although his life and career were brief, Matta-Clark
had a lasting influence on subsequent generations of artists,
writers, architects, and planners who hold him in high regard
as a leader in the Conceptual art movement and as an urban folk
hero.

Journey That Wasn't |
October 14, 2005
Deutsche Bank is delighed to one of the sponsors of the 2006
Whitney. The lead sponsor of the Biennial is Altria. In addition
to all the Biennial benefits, Deutsche Bank will also receive
the benefit of sponsoring a unique conceptual art installation
in Central Park at Wollman skating rink on Friday, October 14th
at 6:30 p.m. in conjunction with the Public Art Fund.
The young, emerging and noteworthy French artist Pierre Huyghe*
will transform the Wollman skating rink into his journey for
a newly discovered, distant island in Antarctica. Global warming
has opened new landscapes and the artist earlier this year set
out on a journey to Antarctica to search for an unknown island
and an encounter with a unique solitary creature-an albino penguin.
The public art piece accompanied by a symphonic orchestra is
based on this journey and will be filmed at dusk. This one of
a kind experience is both a show and a film shoot, which will
record both the show and the audience members who watch it,
so that they could be part of the film. The film will then be
shown at the Biennial, which opens in March, in its own gallery
on the ground floor.
*Pierre Huyghe has recently moved to NYC, won the Hugo Boss
Prize in 2002, received a Special Award from the Venice Biennale
in 2001, and in 2006 will have solo shows at the Tate Modern
and Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.

where proceeds from the Christo public art project will benefit
Nurture New York's Nature, a non-profit organization dedicated
to promoting sustainable development through environmental
initiatives in New York City. Beginning on February
12, 2005, Christo and Jeanne-Claude will display The Gates
for 16 days in Central Park. This ambitious project
will have 7,500 16-foot-high gates bearing hanging saffron-colored
cloth lining some 23 miles of pedestrian pathways in Central
Park. The Gates will call attention to the
remarkable natural beauty of Central Park while attracting
world-wide attention to New York City.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude are known for their visually compelling
works, including the “Reichstag Wrapped” in which
the artists enfolded the Berlin Reichstag with shimmery, silvery
fabric, a project that brought the city some $700 million
due to increased tourism.
For the first time in their forty years of creating public art
throughout the world, the artists have made the generous gift
of a license agreement, which includes products and events commemorating
and celebrating The Gates, to benefit the City of New
York. Nurture New York’s Nature was formed to serve
as the ongoing steward of the license proceeds.

As part of the 2004 Next Wave season, Deutsche Bank
is sponsoring the production of The Temptation of St.
Anthony, a new opera directed by Robert Wilson, based
on the unique interpretation of Gustave Flaubert’s novel.
Robert Wilson's retelling of Flaubert's novel is an electrifying,
inspirational gospel musical. For his latest work, he
teamed up with Bernice Johnson Reagon founder of the a cappella
ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock. The Temptation of St.
Anthony had its world premiere on June 20, 2003 as part
of the RuhrTriennale festival in Duisburg Germany. Mark
Swed of the Los Angeles Times writes "Wilson strips nearly
all of the verbal excess from Flaubert's ornate text, relying
upon Reagon's gospel numbers to recount the basic themes of
doubts and belief. Of the 14-member all-black chorus,
Swed says "It is breathtaking to watch these singers possess
the stage. Each is amazing, and there can be no question
that they believe every word they sing."

On June 11, the Solomon R. Guggenheim museum will launch a new
exhibit, Brancusi: The Essence of Things. Deutsche
Bank is the sponsor of this exhibit, which is organized by Tate
Modern, London in collaboration with the Guggenheim. Constantin
Brancusi (1876-1957) was one of the founding figures of modern
sculpture and introduced abstraction and primitivism into sculpture.
Brancusi’s serene, simplified sculptures are widely acknowledged
as icons of modernism. His choice of materials, including
marble, limestone, bronze, and wood, and his individual expression
through carving established him as a leading avant-garde artist.
