ART ASSIGNMENT

This is a case study to help you discover connections between the appreciation of art and the workplace. 

Taking on the role of an art curator, you will recommend 3 Modern American works of art for the new location of a large pharmaceutical company that wants to invest in art with the theme of "progress" for its new company headquarters. The total budget for the purchase of the artwork is $600,000.

• To find the 3 Modern American art works with the theme "progress,” visit famous auction houses such as this one (http://www.christies.com/) and this one (http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions.html), professional galleries, and other Internet sites, and choose paintings, sculptures, or photography that would represent Modern American works of art for the company's headquarters. 
• For each work of art, create 2 paragraphs that include the following:
  • The title of the work and the techniques and media used. 
  • The artist's name and a brief biography of the artist.
  • Cost of the art work; the budget allows for approximately $200,000 per work of art.
  • How do the characteristics and style of the Modern American artwork address the theme of "progress”?
  • What are the benefits of investing in art for a corporation? 
  • Why might employees be interested in these works of art?
