I have learned that large corporations also purchase items like that to display in their office collections.
I used to know someone that was in charge of art at a large corporation. She purchased, stored, displayed works of art
Her job was to manage the inventory.
The executives had art in their offices.
Then conference rooms, lobbies, hallways had art too.
It was surprising how large their art collections were that they needed a full time person to manage them.
I thought Sony but I do not believe their American headquarters is in the San Francisco Bay area?
Anyway, it is a large corporation like that and has nothing to do with art or museums.
Yet has invested millions on art.
