|
The origin of the VP Bank Art Foundation can be described with the foregoing words. Ever since the ‘70s, VP Bank has systematically acquired artworks with the idea in mind of giving not only employees but also clients a sense of «Art at Work». |
|
Since its establishment in 1996, the Foundation has pursued a selective approach to collecting art, with the main emphasis placed on paintings made in the second half of the 20th century.
The VP Bank Foundation collects the works of international as well as domestic artists. In keeping with the Foundation’s statutes, it strives in a targeted manner to acquire «contemporary works of art» and thereby «foster an understanding of art both within and outside the Bank».
The confrontation with contemporary art on a daily basis is intended as a means of fostering a broader view of the world within an otherwise established, encapsulated system. The result: employees are challenged and inspired. In this way, art plays a motivating role in the day-to-day work at the VP Bank Group.
