The JPMorgan Chase Art Collection
Charlotte:
Questo è un dipinto di Sam Francis, che era un artista emergente. David Rockefeller gli fece visita nel suo studio nel 1959, quindi si tratta di un’opera davvero straordinaria e fondamentale per la collezione. Venne acquisita nel 1961 per una filiale di punta della Chase.
La collezione d’arte è stata fondata da David Rockefeller. La sua visione era quella dell’“arte all’opera”, così chiamava la collezione e il programma di opere d’arte, che avrebbero arricchito l’esperienza dei dipendenti della banca e anche di coloro che venivano a trattare gli affari con noi. David Rockefeller riteneva che l’arte avrebbe ispirato le persone a pensare e ad avvicinarsi al lavoro in modo più creativo, in un certo senso stimolate dalla visione di altre persone. Gli artisti riescono ad aprirci gli occhi e ad aiutarci a vedere il mondo attraverso una prospettiva diversa.
All’inizio degli anni ’60, David Rockefeller e il comitato artistico con cui collaborava individuarono artisti poco conosciuti, artisti afroamericani, donne, artisti di ogni estrazione e cultura che lavoravano con una grande varietà di supporti. La collezione d’arte è un catalizzatore di relazioni. Mette in relazione i nostri clienti, i nostri colleghi e le nostre comunità.
Quindi, per sei decenni, questa collezione è stata un punto di incontro e un vero e proprio vettore di cultura nella nostra azienda, perché si è sempre concentrata sugli artisti emergenti. L’idea è che gli artisti si collochino al centro di ciò che accade nella nostra cultura, nel nostro paese e in tutto il mondo. Rispecchia la visione globale della nostra azienda e prende atto dell’importanza che gli artisti rivestono nell’economia creativa.
La nostra azienda è tuttora fortemente impegnata in favore di ogni tipo di diversità e si tratta di un grande impegno per noi. Alle parole facciamo seguire i fatti. Ecco un artista, Neil Goldberg, che vive e lavora a New York, la cui attività è davvero molto diversificata. Questo è uno degli ultimi acquisti. Si intitola Other People’s Prescriptions ed è un modo per invitarci, metaforicamente e letteralmente, a guardare il mondo con gli occhi di qualcun altro. La collezione comprende davvero ogni tipo di pittura, scultura, fotografia e, sempre più spesso, anche opere digitali e video. Quindi,è una collezione estremamente pluridimensionale, che rispecchia anche la nostra attenzione per l’arte moderna e contemporanea.
Questo è un dipinto di Joan Mitchell, una artista, realizzato nel 1959 e acquistato per la collezione nel 1960. Si tratta di una artista che negli ultimi decenni, dopo la sua morte, ha guadagnato un’enorme notorietà e reputazione. I tempi sono molto cambiati rispetto al 1959, quando David Rockefeller fondò la Art Collection, e il mio team e i nostri predecessori sono sempre rimasti all’altezza di quel retaggio. È una vera fonte di ispirazione quotidiana per tutti noi.
