Deutsche Bank Art & Culture
Art spawns new ideas for shaping our future. It questions, inspires people, opens up new perspectives, and thus enables them to embrace unusual and innovative solutions. The bank’s involvement in art is a pillar of its “Art & Culture” division of the Deutsche Bank, and strengthens the company’s cultural diversity.
In line with this motto “Art works” for more than forty years Deutsche Bank offers employees and the general public access to contemporary art – through its collection at the workplace, in international exhibitions, at the PalaisPopulaire in Berlin, as well as through educational programmes. Deutsche Bank supports joint projects with museums, the globally engaged art fair frieze and other institutions to award and encourage emerging talents which is best shown in the “Artist of the Year” award. The magazine ArtMag provides insight into the international art scene and the bank’s role within it. These extensive global activities – designed and accompanied by a team of experts – Deutsche Bank helps internal and external audiences experience the power of creativity and innovation that lies in contemporary art.

Seeing Words, Reading Images Seeing Words, Reading Images
The exhibition brings together positions from the Written Art Collection with selected works from the Deutsche Bank Collection. The starting point is the relation between writing and image. The focus is on the significance of written art as a medium of global understanding and on the boundless visual and textual possibilities of storytelling, whether in poetry, political criticism, or the engagement with history.
