Knowing More About Corporate Art Collections

By Anita Ortega


Corporate art is extremely important to the overall image of a corporation because it adds class to the office of the corporation. It is simply because the company would want to retain a good image and good impression to those who enter the office that they would buy corporate art collections. Now for those who are interested in this subject matter, here are some things to know about it.

One can actually consider these paintings as a company asset because they would actually serve as some sort of marketing tool that does help the image of the corporation. It is for this specific reason that these corporations do not mind shelling out a lot of money on these so called worthless paintings. There are actually a lot of reasons as to why these things are actually very important.

Now a corporation always has to be attractive to the public because the people have a certain expectation of corporations. The public would expect the corporation to at least look classy and professional on the outside. Now the corporations would hang paintings on their walls in order to respond to that particular expectation so that when visitors would come into the office, the visitors can see that the corporation knows exactly how to present itself.

Now this is only one of the positive effects that the paintings would have on visitors. Another positive effect that these paintings would have on the visitors is that they would help the visitors relax while they are either waiting for a meeting or working. Looking at paintings can actually be very relaxing and would therefore help visitors feel at home while they are inside the office.

Not only the visitors will feel more at home with the paintings but even the workers will as well. There have been some actual findings that state that artworks actually have a calming effect on the brain that would bring out positivity in a person. This in turn will help the workers become more productive in the office.

Now stress is one thing but overall brain function is another thing. Other studies have shown that art not only has a calming effect but it also has a stimulating effect on the brain. Because the brain is more stimulated after looking at art, the brain tends to now become more creative, innovative, and more efficient in work.

Now in some sense, the corporation is also helping the culture of the country by hanging these paintings in their offices. If they would buy works that were made by a local artist, then they would be helping people learn more about the culture behind the painting. Hence they would be helping the culture of the country where the painting came from.

Of course the corporations are also helping the art community as a whole. In a way, they are promoting art as there are many people who do not appreciate classic art forms enough. So by hanging these artworks in an office, these works will get the exposure that it needs from the public.
