Description[ The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art is located in the company headquarters of Astrup Fearnley. The museum's collection comprises works from the company's collection and works on loan from the private collections of Hans Rasmus Astrup, Halvor N. Astrup, and Haaken Christensen. The Astrup Fearnley Museum has a permanent collection of European and American post-war and contemporary art. The emphasis is on English post-war painting, School of London, with important paintings by Leon Kossoff, David Hockney, Francis Bacon, Frank Auerbach, and R.B. Kitaj. . The Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art holds Scandinavia's most significant collection of international contemporary art. The museum opened ten years ago in the centre of Oslo. Hans Rasmus Astrup began collecting international contemporary art in the late 1960s. After 20 years, the size and significance of the collection had grown to such an extent that he felt the public should have the opportunity to see it. This led to the foundation of the Astrup Fearnley Museum. The museum adheres to the founder's attention to the new by showing changing exhibitions. Therefore the collection is only rarely on display. The collection features examples of international figurative art from the past 30 years. Some of the artists represented include Jorg Immendorf, Markus Lipertz, Per Kirkeby, John Walker, Francis Bacon, Erro, R.B. Kitaj, Malcolm Morley, Andy Warhol, Louise Lawler, Nan Goldin, Sherrie Levine, Tom Sachs, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Ruff, Marc Quinn, Thomas Struth, Bruce Nauman, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Robert Gober, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Douglas Gordon, and Anselm Kiefer. There is also a selection of classic American contemporary with works by Jim Dine, Wom Wesselmann, and Ross Bleckner. British art is a significant part of the collection, with key works of younger contemporary artists such as Richard Deacon, Tony Cragg, Anthony Gormley, Mona Hatoum, and Sam Taylor-Wood. Another important part of the collection focuses on German post-war and contemporary painting. Norwegian art in the collection covers a wide field, from Modernistic classics by, for example, Olav Stromme, Jakob Weidemann and Inger Sitter to younger contemporary artists. Today the museum consists of the main galleries, another area of galleries known as "Impulsen" for smaller exhibitions of shorter duration and the Sculpture Garden. The total exhibition area is approximately 1800 square metres. Almost 1200 square metres exhibition space with over 400 metres permanent wallspace are mainly on the same level. In the museum's sculpture garden, and in other parts of the museum, are sculptures by Wilhelm de Kooning, Richard Deacon and Tony Cragg as well as Damien Hirst's Mother and Child Divided.

Website Address[ http://www.rama9art.org/bank_th/history.html Personnel[ Governor of the Bank of Thailand Governing[ Central bank Business[ Central bank of Thailand. Year[ 1982 Size[ 330 works. Over 100 artists are represented, 90% from Thailand. Description[ A guiding principle of the Bank of Thailand has been that "...the community that cherishes the arts will flourish not only in arts but also in truth and goodness, the elements of peace of the people in the community..." The Bank of Thailand began operation on December 10, 1942, in temporary headquarters in a building that belonged to Britain. When World War II ended, the Bank of Thailand needed to relocate to a permanent workplace. However, the Bank could not yet afford to purchase any land and building. The Bank therefore requested permission from the Treasury Department of the Ministry of Finance to relocate to the compound of the Bangkhunprom Palace, which was then unoccupied. The Bank moved its operations to the Palace in early 1945 and thereafter the organization gradually grew. The need to acquire actual ownership of the workplace arose when the Government informed the Bank that it wanted to use the Palace for civil operation. So the Bank initiated the purchase of the Mananga-Sila Mansion from the Treasury Department in exchange for the Bangkhunprom Palace and its compound which the Bank wanted to retain. Consequently, since June 7, 1961, the Palace came into the Bank's possession. The main building of the Bangkhunprom Palace was designed in Renaissance and Art Nouveau architectural style. The extraordinary plaster moldings of Renaissance and Rococo style and the elegant Art Nouveau woodwork are known for their magnificence. Additional paintings and sculpture were incorporated. During the governorship of Dr. Puey Ungphakorn, the Silpa Bhirasri Art Gallery was founded, and students' oil paintings were purchased and displayed in the Bank's offices at the Surawongse office and in the Department of Economic Resesarch building. Therefore several oil paintings in the Bank's present collection are the works of those artists that were created in their student years at the Department of Painting, Silpakorn University before becoming well known. Governor Puey's initiatives brought about the dawn of the Bank of Thailand's involvement in supporting art and artists, and since that time, later governors have continued to support the arts. Governor Bisubhi Nimmanhaemin was particularly interested in the visual arts, and acquired several oil paintings of colorful landscape by M.L. Poum Malakoul and the portraits of all previous governors of the Bank by Chakrabhand Posayakrit. Several oil paintings were loaned to the regional branches of the Bank due to the perception that the head office building had no need of more decoration. During the present tenure of the Deputy Governor (Rerngchai Marakanond) these paintings were re-discovered and cleaned and re-framed. These paintings were then exchanged with a new lot of oil paintings at the regional Bank branches and are now displayed in the head office building. As the Bank's responsibilities as the central bank increased with the expanding economy, a new head office building was constructed in the early 1980s, and new contemporary artworks selected, and added to those acquired during the administration of Governor Bisudhi. A committee of three was established, chaired by Mr. Suwat Rachaibun, Assistant Governor at that time. In order to acquire a sufficient number of paintings to meet the Bank's objectives, the Bank held an art exhibition and contest in 1982. This event marked the Bank's first official involvement in supporting the artists. From the Bank's first art event, the committee purchased some artworks in a variety of forms including sculpture works made of stone, wood and metal, oil paintings, acrylic paintings, and also several drawings. The selections represented a diversity of styles ranging from impressionism, realism, surrealism to Thai traditional art, At the same time the Bank invited a number of well known artists, including Angkarn Kalayanapongsa, Tawan Duchanee, and Misiem Yipintsoi to create works for the Bank. On July 12, 1982, under the auspices of His Majesty the King, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided over the opening ceremony of the Bank of Thailand's new head office building. Some of the commemorative gifts acquired at this included a drawing of the Buddha in ink from Japan, and the sadayu-wood sculpture of imaginary bird from Indonesia, watercolor and oil paintings from, for instance, Malaysia, Singapore, the Phillippines, Myanmar, and China, etc. After 1982, the Bank's art collection gradually grew comprising paintings, sculptures, carvings and bas-reliefs. Between 1987 and 1991, during the governorship of Governor Kamchorn Sathirakul and then Governor Chavalit Thanachanan, the Bank acquired numerous paintings. During the same period, the Bank's other high-ranking executives also developed a keen interest in artworks such that they conducted their own search for works of art and place them in their offices. Following their recommendations, the Bank purchased more works by several renowned artists such as Pratuang Emjaroen, Tawee Nandakwang, Uab Sanasen, Chakrabhand Posayakrit, Angkarn Kalayanapongsa, Suchou Sispanes. Thereafter the Bank gradually made more purchases through direct contact with the artists, from art galleries or from art exhibitions. For the 50th anniversary of the Bank of Thailand in 1992, executives of the Bank consisting of Deputy Governor Ekamol Kirtwat and all Assistant Governors agreed that the celebration should include both educational activities and promotional activities of art and culture, and a foundation for education was established. Deputy Governor Rerngchai Marakanond was Chairman of the Committee of the Exhibition of paintings and Sculptures. The exhibition brought the opportunity for extensive art selection by the Bank, and also promoted Thai art among Thai and foreign executives of the financial and banking circle in Thailand. When the exhibition ended, the Bank was able to purchase a large number of paintings and sculptures. The two-dimensional works included watercolors, acrylic paintings, oil paintings, drawings, mixed media, and contemporary art. The sculptures included examples in metal, plaster, wood, marble, and granite. Beginning from the will to lend support to the art students and artists, the Bank has through the years become a direct supporter, and eventually a sponsor of art exhibitions. Consequently the Bank of Thailand has accumulated the works of more than 100 artists of whom 90 percent are Thai. The works range from abstract, portrait, to Thai traditions, and contemporary. With regard to sculptural works, the collection includes bas-relief and some statuary works.

Sponsorship[ Barclays supports a wide variety of local activities through its network of regional offices. Its national programme is entirely pro-active and focuses on its major arts sponsorship, Barclays Stage Partners. This aims to take high quality, mainstream drama to audiences across the country through the creation of regional theatre partnerships. It is worth 1.5 million pounds sterling over three years and is run in collaboration with the Arts Council of England, who will be contributing a further 1 million to the initiative. Barclays support for Britain's "fringe" or independent theatre continues through its Barclays New Stages scheme. In 1995 Barclays sponsored a major exhibition at the National Gallery "In Trust for the Nation," which celebrated the centenary of the National Trust. Barclays was the sponsor of "Ingres to Matisse, Masterpieces of French Painting," at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, from June 30 - September 23, 2001.The exhibition included 50 works from the collections of the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum.

Website Address[ http://www.basf.coatings.de/museum-fuer-lackkunst/ Personnel[ Curator. Governing[ Corporation. Size[ Over 1000 items. Description[ Founded by BASF Coatings AG in 1993, the Museum of Lacquer Art is home to a unique collection of lacquer art from East Asia, Europe and the Islamic world that spans more than two millennia. Special exhibitions are organized to mirror current trends in lacquer art. The earlier Lacquer Museum in Cologne, owned by the BASF Lacke & Farben AG, was founded by the former Herbol-Werke Herbig-Haarhaus AG which merged with BASF AG in 1974. The collection was initiated during the 1930's and was on display on the premises of the factory in Cologne-Bickendorf in 1959. The original collection included approximately 400 lacquered objects, and more recently the company also acquired another private collection of lacquered works from the lacquer manufacturer, Dr. Kurt Herberts in 1982. Location[ In the Lacquer Museum in Munster. Viewing[ The museum is open from Wednesdays to Sundays from 12 noon to 6 p.m. and on Tuesdays from 12 noon to 8 p.m. On Sundays at 3 p.m. the museum offers a special guided tour that is included in the admission fee. Status[ Ongoing. Exhibitions[ "Passion for fine lacquer art - celebrating the centenary of Erich Zschocke and Kurt Herberts", a special exhibition at the Museum of Lacquer Art from October 28, 2001 till January 6, 2002. This exhibition was dedicated to two entrepreneurs of the German paint industry, who privately devoted themselves to art. Independently of each other, Dr. Erich Zschocke (1901 - 1978) and Dr. Kurt Herberts (1901 - 1989) set up a collection of Asian and European lacquer items. Through the acquisition of the Herbol works Herbig Haarhaus in 1968 and the acquisition of Dr. Herberts' collection, the two valuable collections finally came into the possession of BASF, the company that opened the Museum of Lacquer Art in Mnster, Germany, in 1993 to allow the general public to see the objects. But Herberts was also very fond of modern art. He collected more than 500 paintings, graphic arts and sculptures, among which are objects of famous artists like Kandinsky and Macke, both of whom where active in the group of artists called the "Blaue Reiter" (blue rider), or of the expressionists Kirchner, Schmidt-Rottluff and Nolde. Although he was a special expert of German faence and a lover of the early Meissen porcelain, Dr Zschocke was also familiar with other artistic styles. In addition to the unique objects collected by Dr. Herberts and Dr. Zschocke, documentary exhibits also reflect the eventful life-stories of two outstanding personalities. The Museum of Lacquer Art offers special guided tours on Tuesdays at 06.00 p.m., charging DM3.00 admission fee. Herberts - the "encyclopedist" From the thirties, Kurt Herberts managed the paint manufacturing factory in Wuppertal, Germany, which he had taken over from his father and which he turned into a leading company in this sector. During the dictatorship of the National Socialists he employed a group of artists in his company, who were condemned as being degenerated; among others Willi Baumeister and Oskar Schlemmer. By assigning them jobs like the drafting of advertisements and the artistic design of new buildings he enabled them to get by. Being the author of many philosophical and art critical essays he meticulously worked on a study of painting materials, on the basis of which he discovered all imaginable materials for and application techniques of surface finishing. His intent was: "to put the production of the modern coatings industry in a historico-cultural context." Zschocke - the "aesthete" According to an entry of his teacher in the school leaving certificate, Erich Zschocke "left school to become a painter." But it turned out different: Due to Zschocke's friendship with his schoolmate Hans Herbig he took up employment at Herbig-Haarhaus AG in 1926/27. This company became one of the continent's largest paint manufacturing factories in the twenties. On behalf of the company Zschocke set up a collection of European and East Asian lacquer objects which was for the first time shown in the conference room of the new headquarters completed in 1937. The collection, which was known as "Herbig-Haarhaus Lackmuseum" (Herbig- Haarhaus museum of lacquer) since 1955, owed its internationally recognized high renown to Zschocke's feeling for style and artistic quality. Today the lacquer objects collected by Herberts and Zschocke are jointly presented in the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Lacquer Art in Mnster.

With the move to the company's new headquarters, BHP Towers, in 1990, the collection was expanded, although the focus is still young Australian artists. In August 2003, CHP Billiton auctioned 350 works in Sydney at Christie's. Jeffrey Smart's headlining Near Pisa Airport went for $439,450, a record for a sale of the artist's work at auction. The work had been estimated to sell for between $280,000 and $350,000. Billiton plans to buy new works from its sale. The collection does not represent any single vision or theme. BHP Billiton's relocation to its new global headquarters in Melbourne will be an opportunity to establish a new collection with a central theme that better expresses the identity of the group. The collection features a broad range of contemporary media, including photography, digitally created media, mixed media and the more traditional painting, printmaking and drawing. Most will be Australian contemporary art, with about 10 per cent international. Location[ Head office[ BHP House, 140 William Street, Melbourne; and offices in Brisbane and Perth.

The Foundation "La Caixa" is financed by the banking entity "La Caixa" (Barcelona Savings and Pensions Bank). Year[ 1985. Size[ Over 500 works. Description[ The Foundation "La Caixa" is financed by the banking entity "La Caixa" (Barcelona Savings and Pensions Bank). Its budget represents 50% of the banks profit after taxes, and varies every year according to the bank's performance. The budget of the Foundation "La Caixa" is used in a variety of areas; science, music, visual arts, public libraries, a multimedia centre, the Arts Laboratory (educational programme for teachers, schools and families), social centres for the elderly, one research programme on Alzheimer's disease and another on AIDS, and a programme of cultural activities throughout Spain. A collection of paintings, sculptures, installations of Spanish and international contemporary art. The first acquisitions of the committee were to create a collection which would be Catalan, Spanish and international. It has continued along these lines ever since 1985. The Catalan-Spanish collection started with the acquisition of a group of works by the Catalan movement Dau al Set, whose work has become a universally recognised milestone in contemporary Catalan art since its formation in 1948. Almost a decade later, in 1957, a group called El Paso emerged in Madrid. It was shortliving, it broke up in 1960, but it was intensely creative. The sixties also witnessed the birth of Pop Art, kinetic art and the conceptual movements, which would reach maturity in the seventies. The main concern of visual artists at the beginning of the eighties was the vindication of painting as a medium to express feelings. The artists from this period in the collection are: Garca Sevilla, Broto, Grau, Delgado, Surez, Tovar, Hernndez Pijuan, Sicilia, Barcel, Usl etc. The collection of Spanish artists consists of approximately 400 works created by some 150 artists. The international collection has followed a different pattern. The first acquisitions were installations or groups of work by key artists from the sixties and seventies, whose work in the eighties was still valid. A work from the eighties was bought in order to set up a dialogue with much younger generations. The first of such acquisitions was an installation by Joseph Beuys made in 1984 for the Conrad Fischer Gallery, entitled 'Behind the bone the space of pain is counted'. Tpies, Saura, Barcelo, Solano, Fontana, Merz, Schnabel, Judd, Andre, Nauman, Long, Turell, and Serra are also represented in the collection. The most important European movement to react against Pop Art and Minimalism was the Arte Povera, leaded by the Italian art critic Germano Celant. Its representatives in the collection are Merz, Kounellis and Anselmo. From the German neo-expressionist movement are examples by Kiefer, Baselitz, Polke, Richter and Penck. From the Italian transavant-garde Cucchi and Clemente and from New York Julian Schnabel. The German postminima-lism movement, is represented in the collection by Mucha, Forg, Klingelholler and the Belgian Vercruysse. In the eighties photography became an important medium of expression and experimentation and other media which are currently extremely important are video and video installations. Location[ The former Casaramona textiles factory, built by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in 1905, is the Foundation's new Cultural Centre in Barcelona. The contemporary art collection belongs to the Foundation "La Caixa" so it is not displayed in the bank in its offices, and is not used for marketing or publicity for the Bank. It is housed in the CaixaForum and other locations in Barcelona. Viewing[ Since the collection is not used in the Caixa Bank offices, the collection is only available for public viewing when included in special exhibitions. Status[ Ongoing. Source[ Artists, art galleries. Selection[ International Committee. Status[ Loans to museum exhibitions. The loan policy follows usual museum guidelines -- a careful review of the conditions of the spaces and the galleries, whether the show is a retrospective or an important selective exhibition of the artist, or whether it is a group exhibition in which the presence of the Caixa work is justified. Exhibitions[ The staff organises eight or nine different exhibitions every year, which are displayed in the Caixa's own centres, and public spaces. The Foundation has organised 213 exhibitions throughout Spain which have been visited by close to 3,000,000 people. This programming is offered to the public at the different cultural centres and exhibition halls that the Foundation possesses in a number of Spanish cities, as well at centres yielded for the purpose by City Councils and other Spanish public institutions. By exhibiting these various selections from the collection, both in Spain and in Europe the Foundation "La Caixa" wishes to bring the art of our time closer to the public and give rise to new perspectives on contemporary creations. The Foundation has been programming exhibitions for over 20 years and these have had a key role not only in promoting and disseminating art in Spain, but also in drawing the attention of the international art world to Spain. The programme has been divided into four basic areas. 1) exhibitions of twentieth century avant-garde artists such as Duchamp, Masson and Munch. 2) exhibitions of Spanish artists from the turn of the century like Anglada Camarasa, Regoyos, Beruete, Sunyol, etc. 3) important artists from the fifties and the sixties like Cy Twombly, Ed Ruscha, Lucio Fontana, Arshile Gorky. And 4) the individual or group exhibitions of contemporary artists such as Enzo Cucchi, Francesco Clemente, Dokoupil, Art and Its Double, Other Figurations, In Three Dimensions, David Salle etc. La "Caixa", the banking entity, has never itself published these or any other Foundation activities, but as the Foundation uses its name there is no doubt that the results of these exhibitions have had an enormous impact on the bank's reputation. Some of the earlier exhibitions have included: "Tropismes," Barcelona, 1992. A selection of 80 works from the collection. "Los 80 en la Coleccion de la Fundacio "La Caixa," Seville, 1992. Over 200 works of the collection were on view. The collection has also been exhibited in Denmark, Portugal, France and Germany. Programs[ In the visual arts field the Caixa Foundation has a cultural centre in Barcelona which organizes exhibitions, courses and film cycles, and it also contains the multimedia centre. There is also an exhibition space in Madrid and a museum in Palma de Mallorca which is devoted to Anglada Camarasa, a Catalan artist from the early 20th century. In the scientific field, the Caixa Foundation has a Science Museum in Barcelona, which is currently being enlarged and, when completed, will be one of the largest in Europe with 27,000 square meters. It also has another recently opened Science Museum in Madrid. In February 2002, The CaixaForum opened. This new venue has meant the recovery of one of the masterpieces of industrial Art Nouveau: the former Casaramona thread and fabric factory, designed by the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch in 1909. At CaixaForum, fine arts, visual arts and the Contemporary Art Collection of "la Caixa" Foundation coexist with the socio- educational programme, offering a wide range of activities intended to satisfy the general public. Guided visits to the exhibitions, music festivals and educational workshops for youngsters are only a few of the activities that can be enjoyed at this new centre. CaixaForum has over 12,000 m2 in which all types of activities are carried out and exhibitions can be simultaneously presented. This new centre has been remodelled for hosting multidisciplinary activities and houses an all-purpose auditorium with seating for 350 and a library/media-library equipped with the multimedia technologies; a teaching workshop; three exhibition halls with a total area of 3,000 m2; conservation and restoration workshops; a storage area for housing the Contemporary Art Collection of the "la Caixa" Foundation; and two all-purpose halls adapted for simultaneous interpreting and equipped with projection screens. Between its official opening at the end of February 2002 until December of the same year, CaixaForum received over 1,300,000 visitors and hosted exhibitions on works selected from the Contemporary Art Collection of "la Caixa" Foundation, as well as major shows on Lucian Freud and Mies Van der Rohe, amongst others. In the coming years, "la Caixa" Foundation intends to expand with the purchase of the former Central Elctrica del Medioda building in Madrid, which will become CaixaForum Madrid. The architectural firm Herzog & De Meuron is in charge of this remodelling project. Sponsorship[ In the music field the Foundation organizes several festivals every year, ranging from religious music to baroque to music from different parts of the world like India, Japan and Bali. The Foundation has 69 public libraries in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. The activities in the rest of Spain have only been recently introduced, because until the 1990's, "La Caixa" was only authorised to operate within Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. The Foundation is now extremely active throughout Spain and every year, organizes over 2000 events devoted to science, photography and contemporary art- lectures, seminars, courses, concerts and exhibitions. Publications[ Exhibition catalogues. The Fundacion publishes a catalogue of all its publications each year.

The collection is not an attempt to be a comprehensive survey of 20th century printmaking, but a coherent, considered group of works by artists identified by the firm as highly talented and accomplished in their field. The collecting activity has been based around three broad themes: Images of London; Abstract Art from St. Ives and Corsham; and Post- 1945 Figurative Prints. Images of London -- these range from John Boydell's 18th century panoramic engravings, through Whistler and his associate Walter Greaves, to the early 20th century woodcuts and etchings of Wadsworth and Nevinson, haunting etchings by Leon Kossoff. Other artists include Stanley Anderson, Clifford Webb, Anthony Gross, Edward Bawden, Ane Dowker, Lucy Jones, Tim Hyman, and Michael Heindorff. Abstract Art from St. Ives and Corsham -- prints dating from 1949 showing the development of artists such as Sir Terry Frost, Patrick Heron, and Bryan Wynter. These are accompanied by works by their colleagues -- Barbara Hepworth, Ben Nicholson, Henry Cliffe, William Scott, John Wells, and Victor Pasmore. Post-1945 Figurative Prints -- inspired by the example of John Piper and his Contemporary Lithographs project, and the subsequent schemes for School Prints and other poster prints such as Lyons and Guinness. Some of the artists represented include Merilyn Evans, Julian Trevelyan, Robert Colquhoun, Ceri Richards, Edwin La Dell, Alistair Grant, Peter Peri, Michael Rothenstein, Gertrude Hermes, Blair Hughes Stanton, Carol Weight, Stanley Hayter, Henry Moore, and John Tunnard.

Description[ The collection of the Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Company is housed in the Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art, which opened in the suburbs of Sakura City, Chiba, in 1990. The goal of the museum was to exhibit works of art collected by the Dainippon Ink and Chemicals, Inc. and its affiliated firms. The museum displays over 100 items selected from the group's holdings in its permanent collection and also features special exhibitions a few times a year. he collection of the museum can be divided into five categories: 1) modern European art, 2) Surrealism and abstract art; 3) Post World War II American Art; 4) Frank Stella; and 5) Japanese paintings. One of the treasures of the collection, is seven of the Seagram series of paintings by Mark Rothko between 1958-59. Rothko was commissioned by Philip Johnson and Phyllis Lambert to make works for the Four Seasons restaurant on the ground floor of the Seagram Building in New York in 1958. (others are owned by the Tate Gallery in London.) This group of works in Japan is one of the few places in the world where a Rothko environment can be seen that is close to what the artist envisioned. A Rothko meditation room, of which there are now only four in the world (Tate Gallery, London; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; Rothko Chapel, Houston, Texas; and the Kawamura) The Kawamura collection represents the taste of the three generations who guided its growth: Kijuro Kawamura, the founder, was interested in traditional Japanese art; Katsumi Kawamura, his son, broadened the scope of the holdings to include work from the European schools; and the youngest Kawamura, Shigekuni, President of the Dainippon Ink and Chemicals company, is interested in contemporary Japanese and American art.

Governing[ Corporation Business[ Daewoo International has become one of South Korea's leading international trading companies. Trading primarily in chemicals, textiles, metals, and steel, Daewoo International was formed in 2000 when Daewoo Corporation, once the flagship of the Daewoo Group, split into three companies. Daewoo International took on Daewoo Corporation's trading business. Year[ The museum opened in 1991. Description[ The Artsonje Museum owns the contemporary arts from all over the world including paintings, sculpture, drawings, prints, photographs and videos. The museum represents a comprehensive overview of the major Korean contemporary artists. The Korean collection includes works by contemporary Korean artists such as Naimjun Paik, Hwanki Kim, Seduk Lee and Oofan Lee.

Artsonje Museum was opened in May 1991, near the promenade of Kyongju's Pomun Lake Resort. Kyongju was the capital of the Shilla Kingdom. It is treasured for the height reached by its glorious culture. Artsonje Museum was established in the hope of laying the foundation for an ideal harmony of the traditional cultural legacy with modern art, as well as of energizing regional activities in art. The personal collection of Chung Heeja, Chairman of Daewoo Development Company, was the initial contribution with which the museum opened. The museum was named in memory of the late Kim Sonje,Chairman Kim Woo Choong's son, who died in a car accident, while studying in the United States. Having collected outstanding contemporary works of prominent artists at home and abroad and hosting unique exhibitions and a variety of cultural events, the museum has become established in the region today as a lively arena for overall activities in culture and the arts. Its frequent international exchanges have also been helping the public better understand contemporary art overseas. To render more educational services, the museum runs the Sonje Academy. The museum is continuously searching for and supporting up-and-coming artists as well as promoting domestic corporate culture and artistic circles. The museum is a two-story masonry building with one basement floor. The museum has been fully equipped and designed, to accommodate various conditions, including a wooden floor throughout the building which contributes to humidity control. Despite its distance from the cultural center of Seoul and a local scarcity of art museum goers and collectors. Artsonje Museum has become a cultural venue binding old and new into one and merging the traditional inheritance with brand-new creativity, which has given it a name in the contemporary art circles of Korea. | Annex | In addition to the Main Hall, which mostly has promoted international exhibitions, the Artsonje Museum opened its Annex in 1997 to provide liberal space for young and experimental artists. The Annex will focus on presenting site-specific works of arts. Location[ The museum is a two-story masonry building with one basement floor. It has a total floor space of 5,816m ,of which 2,360m are devoted to exhibition halls, the remainder being used for such auxiliary facilities as a 150-seat auditorium, a library, a workshop, and a museum shop.

Size[ Over 50,000 works worldwide. Description[ The bank's interest has been om collecting principally works on paper. Today it is one of the largest corporate collections, consisting of over 50,000 works displayed internationally in the bank's offices, for the enjoyment of staff members, customers and guests. The Frankfurt collection includes approximately 1,900 works on paper by 120 contemporary and Modern German artists. This collection is considered to be one of Germany's largest and most comprehensive displays of current German art. Each floor of the twin towers are devoted to a different artist, in descending order from oldest to youngest. Some of the artists represented include Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Arnulf Rainer, Horst Antes, Konrad Klapheck, Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz, Martin Disler, Peter Chevalier, Walter Dahn and Siegfried Anzinger. The Bank also acquired works by "very young artists" for the 35 affiliates, branches and training centers in Moscow, Strasbourg, Tokyo, New York and Germany. The current focus of collecting is artists born in the 1960s, primarily artists from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and French Alsace. The Bank's concept for art at work has two main aims. The first is to hang contemporary works of art in their buildings to support young and often unknown artists. The second is to give staff and customers an opportunity to encounter and become familiar with modern art. In 1999 Deutsche Bank London opened its new headquarters on London Wall, Winchester House. The collection in London has approximately 60% British artists and the remaining 40% provided by Frankfurt. The large hall will host works of art from the commissioning program of the Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin -- this will consist of ten commissions over five years. The first loan from the was the 90-foot-long painting, "The Swimmer in the Econo-mist," by James Rosenquist. 58 British and German paintings are on the 7th, 8th and ground floors. Some of the other artists represented include Anish Kapoor, Lucian Freud, Damien Hirst, Leon Kossoff, RB Kitaj, Frank Auerbach, rd Richter, Georg Baselitz, Sigmar Polke, Gunther Forg. bring out some of the many connections between British and German art. Another building in London has 22 conference rooms devoted to British painters, and a third building will have works on paper by sculptors and the other half by photography. The new offices in Edinburgh feature primarily Scottish art. Deutsche Bank considers cultural commitment as part of its business and social responsibility. This commitment is reflected foremost in the Bank's worldwide "Art in the Workplace" program. Since 1978 and continuing to this day, art by significant contemporary artists is integrated into the work environment of the Bank. The goal of the "Art in the Workplace" program is to encourage greater public understanding and enjoyment of contemporary art and to give employees, clients and visitors the opportunity to experience the art of our time outside museums and galleries. Represented in the collection are examples from the most important movements in post-war art. In addition to an impressive collection of works on paper by earlier Modernists, the focus is on art of the present. Purchasing works on paper by living artists and displaying them at our many branches, the Bank seeks to contribute vital support to contemporary artists and their galleries while gaining the benefits of an environment that is visually stimulating and diverse. The "Art in the Workplace" concept extends from Head Office in Frankfurt to more than 700 branches and offices worldwide. Themes and concepts are formulated with each subsidiary. At satellite branches, works by contemporary German artists are often juxtaposed with those of host countries. This not only produces interesting dialogues and parallels, but gives the collection an international character reflecting the development of the art world and the profile of the Bank. The Bank's long tradition of sponsoring bilateral cultural exchange owes a great debt to the personal initiative of F. Wilhelm Christians, who as Spokesman of the Board of Managing Directors from 1976 to 1988, not only advocated intensive economic cooperation with the former Soviet Union but also initiated a number of pioneering exhibition projects in the two countries.

The first is the diverse works of art that were produced by the supporters of Prince Charles Edward Stuart - the Jacobites - during the 18th century. Paintings, prints, miniatures medals and, above all, drinking glass, for the Jacobites loved nothing better than to raise a toast to their exiled King. The collection of Jacobite glass is the finest in existence. The second theme to the collection is paintings by Scottish artists, mostly of the 19th and early 20th centures.

The focus today is on contemporary art, including works by famous artists worldwide, as well as young emerging artists. The acquisition of works by younger artists, including Jrgen Ponto Foundation prize winners, promotes the development of young artistic talent and makes the collection a significant part of the bank's cultural activities. The building housing the Dresdner Bank Group Head Office in Frankfurt / Main, Gallusanlage 8, represents a harmonious interplay of architecture and art. In selecting the art held there, particular emphasis was placed on the quality of the individual work, with a focus on sculptures. The works, by Sol LeWitt, Andy Warhol, Jim Dine, Per Kirkeby, Jan Dibbets, and Alberto Giacometti and among others, represent significant trends in 20th century art. Some of the other artists represented include Thomas Bayrle, Per Kirkeby, Max Ernst, Jan Dibbets. Frankfurt / Main: Tower at Jurgen-Ponto-Platz. In conjunction with the rebuilding work on the 31st floor of the tower, the Italian artist Maurizio Nannucci designed the new foyer with a total of eight neon sculptures. Daniel Buren designed the backdrop for the auditorium and the large conference room. Munich, Promenadeplatz: The building housing our Munich main branch on Promenadeplatz, first built in 1906/7, was rebuilt in 1994/5 and today its modern and technically advanced architecture features a classical facade. A single theme unites the works of art in the building: "landscape" is interpreted using different media - painting, sculpture, photography and new media. The showcases the independent and individual approaches of contemporary artists towards this theme. Some of the artists represented include Bernd Zimmer, Nataly Maier, Karin Kneffel, Alice Stepanek, Steven Maslin, Alexander Timtschenko, Gert Rappenecker, Ioan Jacob Berlin, Pariser Platz: Questions about the requirements and functions of urban life, and the relationship between man and city, raise important issues about modern living conditions. These are crystallised in the metropolis of Berlin. Contemporary art, which approaches the subject through painting, photography and installation, was selected for the Pariser Platz collection. In addition, Mimmo Paladino, Francois Morellet and Rafael Soto were commissioned for the central areas such as the round hall and the foyer. Some of the other artists represented include Franz Ackerman, Axel Hutte, George Ettl, Julian Opie, Christo Location[ In the bank's offices in Frankfurt (Gallusanlage 8); Berlin (Pariser Platz); Munich (Promenadeplatz).

Many works from the collection can be viewed on the website. Status[ Ongoing Sponsorship[ The bank promotes both culture and sport. In close cooperation with the Jurgen Ponto Foundation, the Bank promotes young artists and interesting projects in music, art, architecture and literature. In August 1991, the Dresden Cultural Foundation was launched by Dresdner Bank to promote projects that directly benefit the city in which Dresdner Bank was founded 125 years ago. Ever since, the bank has been supporting cultural organizations and backing projects that give fresh impetus to science, music, and the arts and promoting science. One of the Foundation's most important projects is the Contemporary Art series ("Kunst der Gegenwart"). Famous artists from around the world are invited to give lectures and hold workshop forums with students at the Dresden Academy. Our partners are the College of Fine Arts, the Saxony State Cultural Foundation and the Neue Meister Gallery. In 2002, the Cultural Foundation's grant programme was expanded under the motto, "dynamo.eintracht": with a view to a public private partnership, the Foundation now awards two studio grants a year in cooperation with the Cities of Dresden and Frankfurt/Main. The Dresden Cultural Foundation is involved in the restoration of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. In 1992, the Dresden Cultural Foundation helped the Saxony State Library to acquire an Erich Kstner collection comprising more than 400 titles. This was a particular success as the original collection by the author, who was born in Dresden in 1899, was destroyed in 1945.

In the last 10 years, the Foundation has worked to develop a richer railway culture by pursuing three main objectives: (1) supporting local cultural activities; (2) sponsoring transport studies; and (3) promoting international understanding and exchanges. Tokyo Station Gallery was opened in 1988 in part of Tokyo Central Railway Station, a magnificent red-brick building dating from 1914, and a short walk from the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The Gallery was established on the principle of elevating the Station from the status of a mere transport hub to a center offering a glimpse into the cultures of both Japan and the world. The original red-brick walls of the Gallery interior make a clear and dynamic architectural statement while creating pleasant surroundings for the exhibitions. The Gallery's image is also an interesting apposite to the busy transport hub of Tokyo Central.

Support[ The Foundation presents cultural events at various venues including train stations, and it also supports the preservation and development of local cultures. The Foundation is reconstructing a new building modelled on the original Shimbashi Railway Station, built for Japan's first railway in 1872. It is scheduled to open in mid-2003 on the government-designated national historic site and will have an exhibition room, restaurant, and other facilities. The Foundation works with JR East and local governments to support the preservation and development of local cultural heritages, including performing arts, traditional festivals, etc. The Foundation's other local activities have brought some interesting but less well-known cultural traditions to light and we will be bringing them to Tokyo's residents through live performance. They will also be made available to a wider audience through digital multimedia. The Foundation presents lectures by art experts expanding on the themes of Tokyo Station Gallery exhibitions.

Website Address[ http://www.gfound.or.at English version: http://foundation.generali.at/index_e.htm Personnel[ Artistic and Managing Director, Sabine Breitwieser. (email address: foundation@generali.at) ; Collection, Reference Room Manager, Doris Leutgeb (email address: found.studienraum@generali.at ). Governing[ Foundation. The Generali Foundation was founded in 1988 as a non-profit association of the Generali Group Austria in order to foster contemporary visual arts. The members are three corporations within the insurance group, the Generali Holding Vienna AG, Generali Versicherung AG, and Generali Ruckversicherung AG. Business[ Insurance. Year[ 1980s, new Foundation building completed in 1995. Size[ Approximately 600 art objects. Description[ In 1995, the foundation opened a building in the center of Vienna, next to the Secession and Museums Quarter. The core objective of the Generali Foundation is to set up an international collection focusing on contemporary sculpture as well as its research and documentation. The works in the collection date back to the late fifties/early sixties. The historical positions they represent are juxtaposed with current ones of the nineties. The collection does not target a complete overview but rather emphasises certain artistic positions or issues. These include conceptual and performative aspects, the crossovers of architecture and design as well as approaches that critically explore the role of the media and social parameters. The term sculpture is not restricted to object art, the plastic arts, or to the use of specified media, but is broadly defined to embrace photography, film, video, and installation, as additional keynotes of the collection. The Foundation also collects books and other ephemera, rare publications, and archive material that relate to the collection. Preservation and, if necessary, restoration of important historical bodies of works are among the Generali Foundation's achievements. The collection that has been evolving since the end of 1988 has a historical background. Originally a collection of contemporary Austrian sculpture was planned. It was supposed to provide a coherent overview and to take into account important references to the post-war period (Wotruba, Hoflehner, Urteil). At the end of the eighties object art experienced an upswing in Austria as well due to the general art boom. As a sort of side activity, the walls of the new main building of the Generali Austria Group in downtown Vienna were also decorated at this time with works on paper by younger Austrian artists which had been purchased by the Foundation. Location[ In the Generali Foundation in Vienna. Viewing[ The collection is not on permanent display. The collection is made accessible to public viewing at regular intervals through the Foundation's own exhibitions. The collection is also presented through loans to other institutions, which have included the last Documenta in Kassel/Germany, and the Whitney Museum of American art in New York. Status[ Ongoing. Source[ Artists, dealers, galleries Review Policy[ inquire Status[ Inquire, works have been loaned to museums and non-profit institutions. Exhibitions[ The art center of the foundation provides major exhibitions, studies, and workshop and storage facilities. The Foundation produces three exhibitions a year, which are complemented by events such as exhibition talks, lectures, panel discussions, performances and film presentations. "Collection," Works by Dan Graham, Sanja Ivekovic, Hans Haacke, Friedl Kubelka and Harun Farocki, September 5 through December 21 2003. Activities[ An important aspect of the collection consists of the archives, open to the public in the Reference Room of the Foundation. The library includes audio-visual media and text and pictorial archives. Publications[ The Gernerali Foundation has produced an impressive number of publications for special exhibitions. A complete list of these is available on the Foundation's website. Dinge, die wir nicht verstehen/ Things we don't understand, Edited by Roger M.

Governing[ Corporation Business[ Holding company for a variety of international interests including breweries, hotels, mineral water, restaurants, vinyards Description[ See a description of the Hess Collection in Napa, California. Support[ Donald Hess, originally from Bern, Switzerland, has been a prominent supporter of contemporary art here as well as in California. He was one of three prominent citizens to establish the Stiftung Kunst heute (Foundation Art Today) in 1982 to support contemporary Swiss art. The members of the board of Stiftung Kunst heute set up an acquisitions committee consisting of three people having a maximum tenure of six years. The foundation's collection was initially housed and intermittently shown in the Olten Art Museum. In 1988, an exhibition space was created in Hess Holdings, located in the former Steinholzli brewery building in suburban Liebefeld. The works acquired by the foundtion are on permanent display there. Donald Hess was also instrumental in setting up the Stiftung Kunsthalle Bern which funds the purchase of artworks primarily chosen by the director of the Kunsthalle from the exhibitions he has assembled, and makes possible the purchases of art by emerging artists on whom most museums cannot take a risk. The Kunsthalle, which does not have an official collection, exhibits the works periodically and the Bern Kunstmuseum may borrow them at any time.

Description[ A collection of Japanese art. Near the main building of the hotel is one of the important private museums of Japanese art -- the Okura Shukokan, established in 1917 by Baron Kihachiro Okura. Okura was an avid collector of Buddhist artwork and he built the museum on his own land to hold and display his treasures. Over the years, the collection was added to by his son Baron Kishichiro Okura, the founder of the hotel, and whose interests included modern Japanese painting, or Nihonga. Today, the Okura Shukokan Museum of Fine Arts houses some 1,706 items and 35,000 volumes - a collection that contains three National Treasures, 12 Important Cultural Properties, and 44 Important Artistic Properties. Among the about 2, 000 works of art held by the museum, ancient Japanese and Oriental works include the national treasure "Samantabhadra on an Elephant" while early-modern works include "Cherry Blossom Viewing at night" by Yokoyama Taikan. The Toshio Yamanouchi collection of Indian religious art was recently donated to the Okura Shukokan Museum. In 1951, Yamanouchi was a general manager for an iron importing company in India. His love of Hindu and Buddhist religious art took him across the country, and over a 25-year period, he built up a fine collection . In northern Uttar Pradesh, he discovered a miniature painting of "Govardhana Krishna." In Madhya Pradesh, he purchased a 18th century three-headed Ganesha made of ivory. A sandalwood Saraswati was found in the NW state of Rajasthan. The collection consists of 350 statues, sculptures, reliefs and paintings. Indian law would now prohibit the export of any historical object more than 100 years old. This law was passed in the early 70's. However, by this time, the collection had already been brought back to Japan. Diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 73, Yamanouchi chose to utilize what he thought might be his final years to write three books about how India and Japan are bound by their roots in Hinduism and Buddhism. An exhibition of 70 works from the collection was displayed at the museum in spring 2002. The hotel is built on an historically important site: the Edo period estate of the Matsudaira Daimyo of Naebashi. The museum building, designed by Chuta Ito, is a nationally-registered tangible cultural property, and boasts of being a unique space for art appreciation. The museum was closed until the end of April 2003 for renovation. Location[ In the Okura Shukokan Viewing[ The museum is open from 10 am - 4:30 pm; closed Monday, and New Year's days.

Governing[ Provincial public utility. Business[ Power / Energy company Year[ 1960s Size[ 800 artworks Description[ A diverse collection of works of art by Quebec and Canadian artists. The company's first acquisitions date back to the 1960s, a time marked by the simultaneous development of Hydro-Quebec and the emergence of the Quebec artistic scene. In 2002, the company established an art acquisition committee, composed of the Chairman of the Board, members of senior management and a specialist from outside the company, with the goal of making the collection a better reflection of the company's activities, and its position in the forefront of Quebec's economic and cultural scene. The company continues to enrich its collection both with major works by established Quebec artists and in particular, with works by younger, emerging talent. Media include paintings, works on paper, limited edition prints, mixed media, sculpture. Some of the artists represented included in the historical collection that was originally owned by the Shawinigan Water and Power Company before it merged into Hydro Quebec include Maurice Cullen, Henry Cooper, Leslie H. Smith, Robert Waheham Pilot. Artists represented with multiple examples and acquired between 1962 and 2004 include Paul-Emile Borduas, Genevieve Cadieux, Dominique Blain, Rene Derouin, Pierre Dorion, Marcelle Ferron, Marc- Aurele Fortin, Yves Gaucher, Geoffrey James, Denis Juneau, Richard Lacroix, Rene Richard, Jean-Paul Riopelle, William Goodridge Roberts, Francine Fimonin, Francoise Sullivan, and Robert Wolfe. At the beginning of the 1960s, Hydro-Quebec launched a competition for Quebec artists to design and produce a mural to be installed over the elebators in the lobby of its new head office building on Rene Levesque in Montreal. Jean-Paul Mousseau's design, Lumiere et Mouvement dans la couleur (Light and Movement Within Color, was selected. His completed work is 4.57 meters high by 22.86 meters wide. Like a stained glass window that becomes luminous when light passes through it, the mural is illuminated by a system of back lighting made up of 1,280 meters of neon tubes in eight different colors. As a result of the circuit arrangement, the gradation in the brightness of each group of circuits, the variations in transformer voltage and the length of the luminosity cycles, the plays of light constantly overlap, producing a nearly infinite variety of effects and colors and perpetual change in Mousseau's mural. The mural was restored in spring 2001. Location[ Approximately 12 buildings in Quebec Province. Primarily in the Montreal headquarters, with some artworks also included in Hydro-Quebec buildings in Quebec, Trois Rivieres, Laval and Rimouski. Viewing[ Since most of the artworks are located in administrative offices, only a few works in the public areas are available for viewing. The Jean-Paul Mousseau mural in the entrance lobby is visible from outside of the building, and is lit at all times.
