Corporate Collections in the Worlds of Arts, Business and Cultural Heritage

Corporate Art Collections have been initiated and curated to educate staff, stimulate creative and out-of-the-box thinking, improve brand image, and express corporate cultural responsibility through support for artists and the art world. Yet while Corporate Art Collections are an important part of the international cultural and art worlds, their position, significance, and agency in those realms are rarely considered in its transnational entirety. The usual perspective is either within national frameworks, or from a single disciplinary viewpoint – mostly that of art history.
