The corporate collection of yesteryear was all about using art to present an image to the world, be it a picture of trust and tradition in sombre oils or an air of innovation in abstract sculpture.
But with the growing demands of stockholder return and a clear relationship between expenses and outcomes, art as image no longer viewed as a justifiable investment. As a result, over the past twenty years we have been witness to a great corporate sell off.
