Publications with ordering possibility

The DaimlerChrysler Collection is pleased to announce that some 35 titles of the collection can now be ordered online. Thanks to a new established collaboration with the Berlin based bookshop Bόcherbogen am Savignyplatz all publications - covering the history of the collection from 1977 to today as well as new acquisitions – are now available worldwide.

Started in 1977 the DaimlerChrysler Collection focuses on abstract and geometrical pictorial concepts, from which it derives its distinctive character today. With its quality and presence among the staff and international museums, the DaimlerChrysler Collection continuously expanded to include some 1,500 works by German and international artists today. The Collection reflects the company’s commitment to art as an inherent element of the corporation's social self-concept and cultural profile.

Various exhibition catalogues, artist monographs and theme publications have been published over a period of almost thirty years. With contributions of various authors and acclaimed art critics every exhibition at DaimlerChrysler Contemporary is backed up with an attractive catalogue. These publications offer an excellent overview regarding the presented art works or new acquisitions and provide comprehensive information on the specific artists.

One of the exhibition series, called 'Minimalism and After', which was conceived in autumn 2000 for the Collection has recently been summarized in a broad compendium. About 300 works by approximately 150 artists are introduced in substantial work monographs, complemented by a thematic essay which – through the perspective of a corporate collection – sums up a 100 years history of abstract art from the Adolf Hφlzel class at the Stuttgart Academy 1906 to the present day.
