Visitors can discover new things in relation to the artists represented and experience familiar things in unusual contexts. In this regard, the selection of artists presented and their works is based on the very personal view of the curator, Friedhelm Hütte, who has been responsible for the Deutsche Bank Collection for many years now and has thus had a decisive influence on the incorporation of abstract tendencies of contemporary art in the collection.

The significance of the “pillars of creation” is the idea that we all have a natural curiosity to learn and see more. The article “Ways of Seeing”, by John Berger, can be used to analyze the significance of this artwork. Fortunately, for the normal people in the world, there are no controversies that provoke unreasonable people.
