The Deutsche Guggenheim
The Deutsche Guggenheim is an art museum,[1] located in the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank building, a sandstone building constructed in 1920 on the Unter den Linden boulevard in Berlin, Germany.[2]
It is a unique cooperation between the Guggenheim Foundation and the Deutsche Bank. The 3,800 square feet (350 m2) exhibition space was designed by Richard Gluckman, an American architect. There are 3 or 4 exhibitions per year.[2]
Exhibitions
Funded entirely by the Deutsche Bank, the museum’s primary purpose is to commission important new works by contemporary artists that will then enter the Guggenheim collection.[3] At least once a year, one artist is presented with a new work which has been specifically created for the exhibition space. Commissions have in the past included paintings by James Rosenquist and Jeff Koons, photos by Hiroshi Sugimoto and Jeff Wall as well as large-scale installations by Gerhard Richter, Hanne Darboven, Lawrence Weiner, Phoebe Washburn, and Anish Kapoor. Based on a recommendation by Deutsche Bank’s Global Art Advisory Council which includes curators Okwui Enwezor, Hou Hanru, Udo Kittelmann, and Nancy Spector, since 2010 the bank every year honors a young artist who is featured in a large solo exhibition at the Deutsche Guggenheim.

History
In 1993, one year before the withdrawal of American troops from the city, Guggenheim's then-director Thomas Krens was first approached with the idea of a Berlin branch of the museum by Richard C. Holbrooke, then the American ambassador to Germany.[4] The museum opened in November 1997.
