Art & Music: Fostering Creativity

Challenging the status quo, seeking new perspectives, taking a different view and starting afresh are qualities of many well-known artists: Their inspirations are fueled by enormous creative energy.

We support this energy with our commitment to the visual arts and music. A cornerstone of our art commitment is the Deutsche Bank Collection, which – through the continuous acquisition of artworks from young artists over the past 30 years – has evolved into one of the world’s largest and most important corporate art collections. In addition to further developing the collection, we show our commitment to art and music through longstanding partnerships with partners such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, Deutsche Guggenheim in Berlin and the Berliner Philharmoniker.

For decades, Deutsche Bank has promoted promising young artists and, at the same time, has given a broad audience access to experience art and music. In this way, we encourage people to try something new and broaden their horizon.
