("Final Exhibition: The Guggenheim's Farewell to Berlin" ), ''Spiegel Online'', November 15, 2012〕 It was located in the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank building on the Unter den Linden boulevard.〔("Collection on Deutsche Guggenheim Berlin" ), The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum Archives, accessed April 5, 2012〕 The museum was a collaboration between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Deutsche Bank, which owns the largest corporate art collection in the world.〔Walsh, John. ("The priceless Peggy Guggenheim" ), ''The Independent'', October 21, 2009, accessed March 12, 2012〕 The exhibition space was designed by Richard Gluckman, an American architect.〔 ==History and building== In 1993, one year before the withdrawal of American troops from the city, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation's then-director, Thomas Krens, was approached with the idea of a Berlin branch of the museum by Richard C. Holbrooke, then the American ambassador to Germany. The museum opened in November 1997, only one month after the opening of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao.〔Cowell, Alan. ("New U. S. Sector in Berlin: Little Guggenheim Branch" ), ''The New York Times'', November 7, 1997, accessed February 2, 2011〕 The modest Berlin gallery occupied a corner of the ground floor of the Deutsche Bank building, a sandstone building constructed in 1920.〔 The exhibition space consisted of a single gallery that was 50 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 6 meters high. Gluckman designed the gallery in a minimalist style.〔〔 After 15 years of operation, Deutsche Guggenheim closed in February 2013. Deutsche Bank intends to continue to display works from its collection of over 56,000 pieces.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Deutsche Guggenheim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
