SUMMARY:From the 1950s up to the present – the Deutsche Bundesbank's art 
 collection
TRANSP:TRANSPARENT
UID:bundesbank_616288
DESCRIPTION:[EMBEDDED]\n\nAs the title of the exhibition "From the 1950s 
 up to the present" implies\, the Bundesbank has been collecting art ever
  since it was founded. While its collection mainly comprises paintings a
 nd works on paper\, it also includes sculptures and spatial installation
 s. It has grown over the decades at numerous different locations\, each 
 with its own particular focus. From the outset\, the Bundesbank sought t
 o integrate art into the workplace\, enabling staff to develop an easy f
 amiliarity with contemporary art.\n\nThe sheer variety of the Bundesbank
 's art collection makes it impossible to stage an exhibition in the Gros
 smarkthalle with a representative or chronological narrative. Instead\, 
 individual works have been selected from different decades which contain
  instructive cross-references and cross-fertilisations of substance and 
 style. By concentrating on five individual themes\, the Bundesbank seeks
  both to capture the broad character of its collection and to stimulate 
 dialogues between vastly varying pictures.\n\nThe European Central Bank 
 will offer guided tours of the exhibition.\n\nComplementing the exhibiti
 on at the ECB\, guided art tours will also be offered at the Bundesbank'
 s Central Office\, where the artworks are normally on view.
