The intrinsic value of art is difficult to measure because art value is in the eye of the beholder.

Consequently, valuation of emerging art is primarily based on emotional instinct often acquired from years of cumulative experience.

This makes valuation very difficult for those without experience and one therefore needs to rely on other sources of information such as reputable art galleries and dealers.

For inspiration regarding the type of art you'd like to collect: one can learn from the masters of corporate art collecting, for example Microsoft, UBS, Deutsche Bank and Progressive Insurance company. These corporations have collections consisting of mostly emerging and mid-career artists - carefully chosen to justify the expenditure at board level...

So many of you have asked to view more corporate art collections. There are approximately 1500 serious companies collecting worldwide. These collections often remain behind corporate walls, for the exclusive benefit of employees and clients. We have managed to assemble the links to nearly 80 online corporate galleries below.

Most significantly, it is primarily the emotional, social and innovative health and wealth of employees that is the driving force behind corporate art collecting.

Collecting contemporary art has become a highly effective way of creating a pioneering and unique culture in the workplace. It is also a most notable socially responsible way of boosting corporate identity in the public arena.

Corporations are a significant cumulative patron of art, owning and displaying several million art works ... worth billions of pounds - almost the same value as those displayed in city museums. 

The potential for growth in this area is awesome as the economic evidence for contributing to culture and creating an inspiring work environment is mounting.

This is also an important economic indicator of future market growth for the savvy investor.
