"The success of the JP Morgan Chase art collection seems to have been inevitable, a story whose positive outcome was never in question. Yet, back when the field of corporate art collecting was still new, our success was anything but a foregone conclusion. Launching the collection was a calculated risk, amounting to a plunge into uncharted territory. JP Morgan Chase first began to acquire art in 1959. But not just any art would do. JP Morgan Chase had chosen innovative and progressive architecture to express the contemporary sensibility at the core of its approach to doing business, and that approach demanded equally forward-looking art. So the collection began with an emphasis on contemporary works, art that many observers at the time, both inside and outside JP Morgan Chase, considered, at best, "difficult." .We're proud of the breadth and quality of our collection. Even less anticipated than its scope, however, has bee its staying power. The adventurous impulse that sparked our first acquisitions is as strong as ever. For JP Morgan Chase, what's most important about our collection is not how much we've accumulated, but what, in the process of living with art for the past four decades, we've learned. The collection has always refused to perform a merely decorative function. Instead, as art - especially contemporary art - tends to do, our works constantly question the status quo and insist that we never cease revisiting and updating our assumptions and perspective. Assimilating "difficult: art into our daily lives is a potentially instructive and rewarding process. Face to face with our differences, we're given the opportunity to affirm the uniqueness of individual voices while discovering what unifies the diversity of backgrounds that makes up our institution. Has choosing to live with contemporary art been difficult? At times. Has the risk paid off? Without a doubt. Once, constructions made of paint and canvas challenged us to look beyond ourselves. Today high-tech artworks using video and the Internet beckon us toward the future, and, by example, exhort us to heed the lessons passed down from each generation of artists to the next: Be creative. Meet change head on. Don't be afraid to innovate. We'd be wise, both as financial services providers and as collectors, to pay attention and listen closely to the art we've chosen to surround us." - excerpt from the Forward by William B. Harrison, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, JP Morgan Chase, New York.…
