"Art is not language, language is language"
Charles Avery, *1973 Oban, GB
The Towers, the Deutsche Bank Group Head Office in Frankfurt, have been modernized, and the art on display therein, which caused quite a stir back in the 1980s when the first tenants moved in, has now been updated and given a more international touch. Focussing primarily on post-war German art in the past, it now consists of works from almost one hundred artists from the new growth centres around the world with their own vibrant art scenes and unique forms of expression.
Visitors to the Towers will enjoy an expedition through Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, and experience drawings and photographs from more than thirty different countries.
A catalogue was published to present around two hundred pieces on show, with texts from a variety of contributors.
Context GmbH, Cologne, were entrusted with the task of copy-editing and adding the final touches to the English-language version.
