The exhibition, “PastPresentFuture”, at the Bank Austria Kunstforum, an introduction to the UniCredit Group art collection, showed the combined collections of all the individual banks that have merged into UniCredit, including UniCredit in Italy, HypoVereinsbank in Germany, and Bank Austria, thereby making it one of the most valuable corporate collections in Europe.

Whether we are looking at the past through the present or from the present toward the future, “every work of art in the moment it is created is contemporary”, says Guadagnini, the curator of the exhibition, and by demonstrating how common threads exist between ancient and contemporary works, this collection shows how the universal and enduring concerns of society, are, and will always be reflected in great and true art.
