https://shorturl.at/fxGWZ This is probably my best written article for Lëtzebuerger Journal, although I suspect my editor in chief, Melody Hansen, may think otherwise. This is version five and usually we're in the clear by v2. Melody asked me to add to the article more than just the EIB's and Arendt's curators, Delphine Munro and Paul di Felice, Ph.D.. They are in charge of two collections, fuelled by an appreciation for art and its potential to give rigid business structures a fluidity of expression that they sometimes lack. "It’s not just investing in art or photography. It’s really about what emerging and famous photographers are telling us about our society," says di Felice. ❓ When you see corporations spend buckets of money on their art collections, it's only natural to think, "well, what do they get in return? Why do they do it?" Those questions were answered by Dr. Roman Kräussl, professor of finance, specialising in alternative investments such as art. I loved that quote from him about collectors looking to show they have cultural knowledge and not just money: "If you’re running an agency for anti-discrimination, of course the one thing you do is Black Lives Matter, or at least an artwork created by a woman. You’re not putting an Andy Warhol, which everybody can do." And that's your cliff hanger.
