Example text
Saul Ingram of Sotheby’s elaborates: ‘While many corporate collections were begun in the 1960s for a variety of reasons, including to provide workers or clients with a decorative and uplifting environment, such as with the BAT collection that we sold in Amsterdam in 2010–11, or to provide support for young artists, many corporations face different priorities today. In Germany and Austria, for example, there has been a tradition of sponsoring artists from the 1950s onwards. ’ 11 Thus, corporate patronage towards artists and the creative community becomes as much a part of a company’s ethos as does its responsibility to its employees.

William A. Rutherford, landscape architect for New York’s Storm King Art Center, was hired to develop a landscape/sculpture master plan for the company’s 85 acres. From the beginning, it was felt that site selection and preparation were vital to the success of the programme. As a result, artists were offered a wide choice of sites and every effort was made to prepare the selected one to best accommodate their work.
