Deutsche Bank and Sydney Contemporary announce new partnership
Deutsche Bank is pleased to announce a partnership with Sydney Contemporary, Australia’s premier contemporary art fair. As Principal Partner of the Fair for up to three years, Deutsche Bank is strengthening its commitment to making contemporary art accessible to new audiences.
James Roth, Deutsche Bank’s Co-Head of Corporate Finance Australia and member of the Biennale of Sydney’s Board of Directors, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Sydney Contemporary. This partnership is a reflection of both our long-standing commitment to contemporary art in Australia and our endorse¬ment of the Sydney Contemporary’s success as Australia’s largest and most diverse gathering of local and international galleries.”
Roth continued: “We are incredibly proud of our commitment to contemporary art and consider it an important part of our cultural fabric. This new collaboration is in line with the Bank’s sponsorship of other leading art fairs around the globe, including the Frieze Art Fair and Frieze Masters in London as well as Frieze New York, and provides us with an exciting opportunity to engage with clients, employees and the art loving public.”
Sydney Contemporary founder, Tim Etchells, stated: “We are delighted that Deutsche Bank has decided to partner with Sydney Contemporary. Their passion for art is unprecedented in the corporate sector. We first worked with Deutsche Bank in the early days of Art HK, and they were great partners. We are looking forward to renewing the relationship going forward.”
