“Human Nature” shows photographic explorations of the relationship between humans and nature in a wide variety of landscapes. These reveal not only humans’ perception of nature, but also most importantly, human nature itself. Other themes include primal nature far from civilisation, changes inflicted on landscape by humans and the adjustment of humankind to its self-created environment. “Human Nature” presents works from artists including Paul Almasy, Mike Brodie, John Davies, Axel Hütte, Vivian Maier, Simon Norfolk, Sebastião Salgado and Gunnar Smoliansky. The exhibition’s curator is Anne-Marie Beckmann.

It will be shown from 1 October 2014 until 15 January 2015 in Eschborn, and then from 30 January until 17 April 2015 at the NRW-Forum Düsseldorf. It is open for viewing in Eschborn through art tours. These require registration via e-mail to: art@deutsche-boerse.com. Further information on the collection and forthcoming tour dates for “Human Nature” are available online at www.deutsche-boerse.com/art and on facebook/ArtCollectionDeutscheBörse.

The Art Collection Deutsche Börse continues to grow even after 15 years. The collection now comprises close to 1,000 works by around 100 international artists. The photographs in the Art Collection Deutsche Börse are displayed at Deutsche Börse Group’s locations in Eschborn/Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Prague, London and Zurich. The collection does not focus on any particular theme, with subjects ranging from landscapes and architecture, through interiors and cityscapes to portraits. Several works are presented by each artist featured in the collection in order to show their personal visual language.
