More then Money: An interdisciplinary perspective on art in organizations

In the decades following the Second World War, art collecting has become a much–adopted cor- porate practice. Today, many organizations ranging from multinationals to non-profit organiza- tions buy and showcase visual art, often by artists who are in the early phase of their careers. The methods and policies of artwork acquisition and display are professionalized, usually managed by curators with an educational background in art history and/or broad experience in the art world.

Despite these developments, research on corporate art collections remains scarce and fragment- ed between disciplines and national contexts. This is unfortunate, especially given that corporate art collecting can be linked to other significant yet little-understood shifts in both art and organiza- tions. Corporate art collections, for instance, are destined to play an increasing role in discussions about national cultural policies, as they have become depositories of future heritage due to their acquisition policies being comparable to that of museums and other institutional collectors. On the one hand, as corporate art collectors become increasingly dominant consumers of art, this leads to questions about the role of these organizations in the art world. On the other hand, com- panies and non-profit institutions use their art collections strategically, to express e.g. organizatio- nal identity and culture, which is reflective of the increasing use of organizational artefacts and spaces for the purpose of communicative action.

The above mentioned developments have significant implications for both the role of art and organizations in society, leading to new research questions.

This online conference, taking place on November 13 and 14, 2020, is the closing event of a four- year research project at the University of Amsterdam, funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and the Netherlands Association of Corporate Art Collections (VBCN). This project, "Corpo- rate collections as emerging heritage: Art market dynamics, corporate strategies, and public sup- port for the arts", focused on present-day corporate collecting as a source of signals to different audiences, i.e., internal and external stakeholders of the collecting organizations to museums and other actors in the art market. The conference will both communicate the outcomes of this pro- ject and enlarge the discussion to a global perspective with speakers from the Asian, European and American continents.
