Daimler Art Collection, Daimler Contemporary Berlin
Since 2013, the Daimler Art Collection has strengthened its international profile by adding to it a significant new aspect of global contemporary art – through the acquisition of more than 40 artworks by approximately 20 Chinese artists. Beginning in 2015, these newly acquired artworks are shown in a number of exhibitions in Berlin and Stuttgart. The exhibition entitled ‘Last night’s fortune teller’, continues the exhibition series with new acquisitions of Chinese and international art at Daimler Contemporary Berlin.
The Chinese artworks relate to a number of areas of special interest of the Daimler Art Collection, among others especially in terms of abstract and conceptual art tendencies as well as in new media forms. At the same time, these artworks represent an entirely new and distinctive complex within the collection – both culturally and aesthetically. The selected acquisitions of the Daimler Art Collection are centered around artists from the key regions of Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
