Exhibition Overview
"Private/Corporate" marks the start into a series of exhibitions in which the Daimler Art Collection engages in a dialogue with private European collections. Works of art from the corporation's collection can thereby be seen from the perspective of a related approach to collecting art.The "Private/Corporate" exhibition includes about 80 works by 28 international artists from 1960 to the present day.

The selection of pictures, sculptures, objects and videos from the Daimler Art Collection in the "Private/Corporate" exhibition starts with early acquisitions of work by Josef Albers, Max Bill and Almir Mavignier, and also examples from Andy Warhol's "cars" series. Further developments of Concept and Minimal Art, moving towards the present day, are represented in the form of works by John M Armleder, Richard Artschwager, Haim Steinbach, Elaine Sturtevant and Franz Erhard Walther.
But the principal emphasis, in line with current acquisition policy, is on contemporary international art, with new acquisitions of works by Bogin, Dean, Eichhorn, Fleury, Frize, Hauser, Huemer, Mercier, Miller, Mosher, Sanguineti, Schmidt-Rasmussen, Westerwinter and Winter.
In "Private/Corporate", the history and programming policy of the Paul Maenz Gallery is reflected in conceptually oriented works by Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Giovanni Anselmo, Joseph Kosuth, Jannis Kounellis, Sol LeWitt, Piero Manzoni, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Elaine Sturtevant and Peter Roehr. In the 80s the gallery discovered and promoted painters from the "Mühlheimer Freiheit" group like Bömmels, Dokoupil et al., documented the further development of Anselm Kiefer and helped Italian Arte Povera to acquire an international profile (Chia, Clemente, Cucchi, De Dominicis, Paladino, Paolini, Penone). Works by Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Sylvie Fleury and Thomas Ruff reflect the development of the Paul Maenz Collection towards the present day.
