Where do ideas come from? Where do ideas come from? 1 Where do ideas come from? At Deutsche Bank we surround ourselves with art. International contemporary art plays its part in helping us to navigate a changing world. As a global bank we want to understand, and engage with, different regions and cultures, which is why the Deutsche Bank Collection features contemporary artists from all over the globe. These artists connect us to their worlds. Art is displayed throughout our offices globally, challenging us to think differently, inviting us to look at the world through new eyes. Artists are innovators and they encourage us to innovate. Deutsche Bank has been involved in contemporary art since 1979 and the ‘ArtWorks’ concept is an integral part of our Corporate Citizenship programme. We offer employees, clients and the general public access to the collection and partner with museums, art fairs and other institutions to encourage emerging talent. Where do ideas come from? 2 Deutsche Bank reception area with artworks by Tony Cragg and Keith Tyson Art in London The art in our London offices reflects both our local and global presence. Art enriches and opens up new perspectives for people, helping to break down boundaries. The work of artists such as Cao Fei from China, Gabriel Orozco from Mexico, Wangechi Mutu from Kenya, Miwa Yanagi from Japan and Imran Qureshi from Pakistan, can be found alongside artists from the UK such as Anish Kapoor, Damien Hirst, Bridget Riley and Keith Tyson. We have named conference rooms and floors after these artists and many others. 2 Where do ideas come from?

In her images women, predatory animals, industrial products and machines, all melt together to become creatures that question our perceptions of beauty, our image of the other, of the alien. Mutu, from Kenya but who now lives in New York, was named Deutsche Bank ‘Artist of the Year’ in 2010 for her work exploring black female identity caught between Western consumer culture, the African Diaspora and post-colonial history. 4 Where do ideas come from?

Her early work came out of an understanding of Seurat and ‘Pointillism’ but in the sixties she soon developed her own style, indeed her own label, ‘Op Art,’ in contrast to the Pop Art prevalent at the time. Images, though stationary on the canvas, visually move within the eye’s retina. Famous for vertical stripes, Riley has developed diagonals and curves; she is very much still experimenting. 10 Where do ideas come from?

Grandson of Sigmund, he was a great observer of life in his own right: the power of his personality was so strong and conflicting that he managed to maintain his aura of being an outsider, while being the ultimate insider. “I paint people”, he said, “not because of what they are like, not exactly in spite of what they are like, but how they happen to be”. 12 Where do ideas come from?
