Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin
A Place to See the Art of Tomorrow
|
Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin is an unique joint venture between Deutsche Bank and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The art museum has raised the bar for collaborative exhibitions, challenging visitors with new contemporary works of art.
Its dynamism is nearly unparalleled in the exhibition scene. Especially the commissioned works of contemporary artists leave visitors with an ever-changing impression of the 350 m2 art gallery. The pop artist James Rosenquist, for instance,transformed the gallery into a gigantic tumult of color and light.
Video artist Bill Viola converted it into a digital space of worship. And last summer, the young American Phoebe Washburn turned the museum into a mixture of biotope and recycling factory. The annual presentation of selected works from the Deutsche Bank Collection is equally groundbreaking. The unique exhibition of Neo Rauch in 2001 marked a turning point in the career of this now highly acclaimed painter. This exhibition is a good example of what the gallery offers; it serves not only as a complementary extension to public museums but also as an important stimulus for the international art scene.

Beyond student tours and brunch and lunch lectures, special daily tours and workshops for children and youths are also offered where kids can discover modern and contemporary art in a playful and creative way. More than 2000 children have taken advantage of this opportunity in the first half of 2009 alone.
Further still the Deutsche Guggenheim CLUB specifically introduces children from welfare institutions to contemporary art. Due to the resounding success of such activities, the art education program at the Deutsche Guggenheim is constantly being expanded.
