fine art print is a staple of corporate collections in the
United States today. Working with Prints demonstrates the
range of ways that collections are shaped, and the high quality
and diverse imagery that enliven the corporate environment.”

companies across the country whose collections are recognized
milestones in the history of U.S. corporate collecting, or
which have a unique focus and/or purpose.
Some
forty works will be included in the exhibition. Among them
