Companies Collect
25 art collections
Enterprise & Art, Amsterdam 2001

Having been an active partner of many years with private sector art collections, in 2001 Enterprise & Art takes the initiative to dedicate a publication to the twenty-five major art collections being maintained by companies and hospitals in the Netherlands.

The book 'Companies collect' is published precisely 12.5 years after the KunstZaken exhibition - the first exhibition Enterprise & Art organized, in December 1988 – at which 23 companies showed art from their collections in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. 'Companies collect' draws the attention once again to the art treasures collected by companies, demonstrating their love for art.

The book shows works by 147 Dutch and foreign artists. Each company provides covering text defining its policy on art collection issues.

Het boek is in elke boekwinkel verkrijgbaar.
