As part of its founding mission, the Deutsche Guggenheim established a program of commissions by prominent and innovative contemporary artists in 1998. Created specifically for its exhibition spaces, this series has become an important part of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s program in contemporary art. Anish Kapoor’s sculptural installation titled Memory is the fourteenth commission project to be completed since the inception of the program.
Berlin Commissions
Deutsche Guggenheim Commissions represent a continuation of the Guggenheim Foundation’s existing commitment to the fostering of contemporary art and architecture. The fourteen artists who have participated in the series to date are John Baldessari, Hanne Darboven, William Kentridge, Jeff Koons, Gerhard Richter, James Rosenquist, Andreas Slominski, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Bill Viola, Jeff Wall, Phoebe Washburn, Lawrence Weiner, Rachel Whiteread, and Anish Kapoor.
