WHEN CORPORATIONS BUY ART

“No corporation will tell you it buys art as an investment. Art isn’t liquid enough for most companies, and there’s no real tax advantage to collecting. What really happens is that the nature of physical space calls for you to put things on the wall. But if you can put things up that increase in value, that’s a good financial investment. Why put up hotel art when, for relatively little more, you can invest in your community and in a point of view?” – Chicago Tribune
