Support[ The Southern Collection, a survey of painting in the South from antebellum portraiture through contemporary art, more than 2100 paintings and drawings, is no longer part of the corporate collection. It has become the permanent collection of the Morris Museum of Art, a nonprofit foundation. A lasting gift to the Augusta-area community was the Morris Museum of Art, which opened in September 1992, on Augusta's Riverwalk Cultural Corridor. The museum, named in his parents' memory, fulfilled a dream of Billy Morris to provide Augusta and the Southeast with a broad-based survey collection of Southern art. Louise Keith Claussen began working with the Morris Museum project in 1988, with the purchase of the Robert Powell Coggins Collection of Southern Art by Southeastern Newspapers Corporation. She took on the assignment of developing the Morris Museum of Art as the first museum in the country devoted to the art and artists of the South. She was named director of the museum in March of 1992, prior to the museum's opening to the public in the fall of that year. Kevin Grogan has been Director of the museum since May 1, 2002. The museum is located at One 10th Street, Augusta, Georgia, 30901 and is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 5:30 and Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00. Publications[ A Southern Collection.

Size[ Over 8,000 artifacts, sculptures, paintings, and prints. Description[ Wells Fargo purchased the First National Bank of Alaska in 1999. The art collection emphasizes both the bank's origin and the history of the area and people. Displayed in 55 branches throughout the state, and in the bank's Heritage Library and Museum in Anchorage, the collection includes about 1,300 paintings, 650 sculptures, and about 4,000 ethnographic artifacts. One of the most unique aspects of the Heritage museum is the 2,600- volume reference library. The noncirculating library contains books on Alaska history, Native cultures, Native arts, geology, exploration, biography and fiction. The collection was begun by former Chairman of the Board Elmer E. Rasmuson to help prevent the export of art and artifacts important to the state's heritage. The collection grew so rapidly that in 1968 the bank opened a Heritage Library and Museum on the first floor of its corporate headquarters building, and it is now one of the largest privately owned public displays in the state devoted exclusively to Alaska culture. The focus is on Alaskan native arts, with displays of ivory carvings, tusk carvings, ceremonial implements for dance, jewelry, dolls, and other children's toys, and paintings by Alaskan artists Fred Machetanz, Sydney Laurence, Jon Van Zyle, and Eustace Ziegler. The museum represents all Alaska Native cultures, from the Tlingit of Southeast Alaska to the Athabaskan of Southcentral and the Yup'ik of the Arctic area. The bank has over 100 examples of baskets--twined spruce root baskets from the Tlingit and Haida tribes; twined grass baskets from the Aleutians; and coiled grass Eskimo baskets. The collection includes a wide range of artifacts including household utensils, hunting weapons and articles of clothing. There is a large basket collection that allows visitors to compare the various weaving techniques and materials used throughout Alaska. Location[ In 55 branches throughout the state, and in the bank's Heritage Library and Museum in Anchorage at Northern Lights & C Streets. Viewing[ Accessible for viewing in the Heritage Library and Museum-- Monday through Friday from noon to 4:00 PM. Status[ Ongoing.

A vast, comprehensive survey of works produced over the past 50 years, The UBS Art Collection includes more than 900 paintings, photographs, works on paper and sculpture, featuring the work of major artists of the post-World War II era, including Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, Chuck Close, Dan Flavin, Cindy Sherman, Damien Hirst, Susan Rothenberg, Kiki Smith, and Lorna Simpson.etc. In 2002, UBS PaineWebber made a gift of 37 works from The UBS Art Collection to New York's Museum of Modern Art, where they will be the subject of an exhibition that coincides with the opening of the Museum's new New York City building in 2005.

UBS further consolidated the partnership in 2000, when Art Basel founded a new platform called Art Unlimited. This section provides artists with an additional hall in which to exhibit their work which could not be presented at the regular stands due to lack of space, prohibitive costs or conceptional and technical restrictions. Finally, the partnership was expanded last year to include the inaugural Art Basel Miami Beach art show, which took place in December 2002. Website: http://www.artbasel.com Art Basel Miami Beach is an extension of Art Basel. The Art Basel Miami Beach International Art Show took place for the first time from 5 to 8 December 2002.

Business[ Natural resources company. Year[ 1980. Size[ 107 works. Description[ A collection of work by 42 native American painters of the Southwest, but the focus of the collection is the art of Oklahoma's Indian painters. The collection was initially formed by Nettie Wheeler, a Muskogee woman, who devoted her life to supporting and encouraging individual Native American artists. Phillips Petroleum Company acquired the collection in 1980 from the Wheeler family to make it available to the general public. Location[ The collection is on indefinite loan to the Woolaroc Museum, c/o The Frank Phillips Foundation, Inc, PO Box 1647, Bartlesville, OK 74005. Viewing[ The collection is accessible for public viewing at Woolaroc Museum, State Highway #123, 14 miles southwest of Bartlesville, OK. Status[ Completed; no new works are being added. Source[ Consultants. Selection[ In-house corporate staff person. Review[ Will not accept unsolicited material (slides, catalogues, etc); write or call before attempting to visit. Status[ Collection not available for loan at this time. Support[ Through the Phillips Petroleum Foundation, Inc. Phillips Petroleum bought the Price Tower, Frank Lloyd Wright's only standing skyscraper, in 1981. H.C. Price Tower, Wright's 19-story creation, a thin tower trimmed in verdigris copper, has been a Bartlesville landmark since 1956 and acknowledged as one of the great American buildings of the 20th century. Phillips executives a few years ago agreed to repair and deeded the building and its block to the Price Tower Arts Center, which has since developed a plan to operate a museum, study center and educational complex and hotel. The Phillips' gift, including the $3.6 million fix-up, amounted to $5 million. In the early 1950s when H.C. Price wanted a new building for his pipeline company, his two sons, both studying architecture at the University of Oklahoma, encouraged him to hire Wright. Wright was in his 80s and in something of a late-in-life career revival. Wright talked Price into spreading the space vertically. They settled on 37,000 square feet on 19 floors. Total cost was more than $2 million, about four times the original estimate. Its floors are cantilevered from the central elevator columns in something of a pinwheel pattern and reminiscent of a tree.

Personnel[ Corporate Archives, Edward Rider, Amy Fisher. Business[ Manufacturer of soaps, detergents, cleaners, toothpaste, deoderants, shampoos, pharmaceuticals, paper tissue products, disposable diapers, chemicals, shortenings, oils, cake mixes. Governing[ Corporation Year[ 1981. Description[ There are three collections: Archival material related to Procter & Gamble; Cincinnati-related art; and The Folger's Silver Collection. The archival material includes print advertising from 1882 to the present, product samples, and a small group of children's soap carvings from the 1920s and '30s. The collection originated when John G. Smale, then the Chairman of Proctor and Gamble, had the vision to bring together a collection of paintings to recognize the cultural legacy of Cincinnati and to honor the firm's integral history. The collection assembled was an impressive survey of American painters from the l9th and early 20th centuries who were born in the Ohio River Valley or who worked in the region. The art collection covers the period 1839 - 1930s and features artists who lived, worked, or studied in Cincinnati. Notable works include North Carolina Emigrants: Poor White Folks, 1845 by James Henry Beard; Pass at Leny, by Robert Scott Duncanson; Thomas Satterwhite Nobel's Margaret Garner, an Abolitionist painting depicting the true story of a slave's escape, painted by the artist after his illustration in Harper's Weekly in the 1860s; as well as works by Frank Duvenek, William Louis Sonntag, Thomas Worthington Whittredge, Alexander Wyatt, Lilly Martin Spencer, Robert Henri, Elizabeth Nourse, Edward Potthast, Henry Farny, James Beard, Robert Blum, Elizabeth Nourse, John Twachtman, Dixie Selden, Bessie Hoover Wessell, and Julia Forrest. Some of the paintings range from the earliest years of formal art training in Cincinnati, from the 1839 painting The Blue Hole, Little Miami River by Godfrey Frankenstein, to Vase of Zinnias, painted about 1967 by Bessie Hoover Wessell. The paintings demonstrate the focus of Cincinnati artists on contemporary art trends in 19th-century Europe, in particular works by artists who traveled and were able to study this new art for themselves. In anticipation of the new wing planned for the Cincinnati Art Museum, the company announced in June 2002 that it was to donate 78 paintings from the collection to the museum. The Folger's Silver Collection was assembled by the Atha family, affiliates of the Folger family, and was acquired when Procter & Gamble acquired Folger's Coffee in 1963. This collection of 17th and 18th Century English silver traveled to USA museums in the 1980s. Location[ The collection is housed at the corporate headquarters in Cincinnati. Status[ Completed.

Programs[ The corporation has a program of labeling each work of art with information about the artists and the piece itself. This has had an educational impact on the employees and encourages an artistic "dialogue." The company also features lectures and tours available for the employees. Support[ Progressive's annual report has become a tool for artists. Each year, an artist or number of artists are chosen to follow a theme and create art for the company's annual report. The art then becomes part of the corporate collection. The theme relates to the character and philosophy of the company, its geographic expansion, unique market segmentation and increasing organizational depth and complexity. The company has received numerous awards for its annual report over the last ten years, including the prestigious Mead Award. In May 1998, the New Museum in New York honored Toby Devan Lewis, Peter Lewis and the Progressive Corporation for their continuing commitment and contributions to the spirit of creativity and the contemporary society. In May 1996, the Association of Professional Art Advisors gave Progressive a first-ever award honoring its "significant contribution in bringing the visual arts and creative experience to the work environment."

Governing[ US Senate Business[ Government Year[ 1960s Size[ over 2000 works. Description[ The Senate maintains a collection of over 2,000 pieces of of art and historical furniture that offers a unique perspective on US history. Selections from their collections are currently available for you to view on the site listed above. In the late 1960s, the Bureau of Reclamation embarked on a program to present its accomplishments to the public through the medium of art. Under the direction of John DeWitt of the Commissioner's Office in Washington D.C., and Dr. Lloyd Goodrich, advisory director of the Whitney Museum of Modern Art in New York City, 40 well-known American artists were commissioned to visit Reclamation's water resource development sites throughout the Western United States and record their impressions on canvas. The artists were given a free hand to depict what ever they wished as long as the subject matter pertained to Reclamation's program - the development of the West's water resources for irrigation, hydro power generation, recreation, water conservation, and fish and wildlife enhancement. The artists were welcome to use whatever medium and style they wished. Some exceptional artworks were the result ranging from the abstract depiction of irrigated fields along the lower Colorado River as seen by Richard Diebenkorn, to Norman Rockwell's portrait of a Native American family overlooking Glen Canyon Dam, to Anton Refregier's scenes of construction activities at Grand Coulee Dam. Over 375 works of art were created during the project. In the early 1970s, many of the pieces were displayed to the public in a traveling exhibit circulated by the Smithsonian Institution entitled "The American Artist and Water Reclamation." Although many of the pieces were returned to the artists, Reclamation maintains a collection of about 200 pieces. Many of the pieces in Reclamation's collection can be viewed in a number of places including the Interior Building in Washington D.C., and the visitor centers at Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon Dam. Some of the artists represented in the collection include Peter Hurd, William Palmer, Ethel Magafan, Fritz Scholder, Alfred McAdams, Fletcher Martin, Lamar Dodd, Dean Fausett, John W.

Personnel[ General Counsel, Rick Collier, Esq. Governing[ Corporation. Business[ Pharmaceutical company. Year[ 1991 Size[ 300 works. Description[ A collection of works by national and international artists working in all media. By its support of the arts, Rhone-Poulenc Rorer hopes to improve the quality of life for everyone who becomes involved with the Collegeville environment. Many of the RPR subsidiaries located throughout the world have donated works of art that are located in the 52 conference rooms, and the conference rooms are named for the country whose art is being displayed. As RPR continues to develop its art collection, the art committee remains dedicated to its philosophy of highlighting emerging artists rather than those who are already more established. This approach offers equally talented but lesser known artists the opportunity to be a part of a major corporate collection. In selecting art, the committee emphasized works that create interest, discussion, and even controversy. Hang-Time, by Jane Kaufman, located in the lobby of the headquarters building, is composed of over 2,000 Austrian crystals and peach and mirror shapes. The New York artist designed the hanging sculpture to "enter into a dialogue with the existing architecture by creating an airy, and delicate piece where the crystals and peach and gold mirror shapes twist, and float, catching and responding to the air currents in space." Dann Nardi, an Illinois sculptor, created a site-specific sculpture, Metiri, for the entrance to the headquarters's building. The San Francisco artist, Irena Kononova, created a four-part painted mural in the employee cafeteria of the headquarters building, Figurative Landscapes in the State of Balance. Some of the other artists represented in the collection include Mark Abidgaard,Thomas Agans, Randy Bolton, Howard Bond, Linda Butti, Murray Dessner, ScottDuce, Kathleen Holmes, Ann Harding, Ron Fondaw, Barbara Kassel, Susan Loftin, Concetta Mason, Patricia McCabe, Elizabeth Meyer, Bonnie Murray, Rex Silvernail, Muriel Castanis, Edith Neff, Chris Nissen, Ray Pierotti, Linda Perry, Otto Rigan, Doris Sams, Amy Sarner, Antonio Sorcini, Joe Sweeney, Michael Todd, Art Werger, James Yohe.

The Art Institute received 12 works, including Reclining Figure (1922) by Fernand Leger, Lemons on a Pewter Plate (1926) by Henri Matisse and Young Woman in a Garden (1883) by Berthe Morisot. The Bathers (1912) by Roger de La Fresnaye was donated to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Jean Monet on His Mechanical Horse (1872) by Claude Monet to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Other museums receiving works were the Cincinnati Art Museum; the Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, S.C.; the Dallas Museum of Art; the Detroit Art Institute; the High Museum of Art in Atlanta; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago; the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Norton Gallery of Art in West Palm Beach, Fla.; the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh; the Portland Art Museum in Oregon, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond. In addition, several museums outside the United States also received donations. To celebrate Sara Lee Corporation's gift to America, a traveling exhibition of the artworks toured several American museums that began in spring 1999, culminating in a final exhibition of the entire collection at The Art Institute of Chicago in 2000. Sara Lee's collection was formed from artworks originally assembled privately by the company's founder, Nathan Cummings (1896-1985). Important works from Sara Lee's collection had been loaned to exhibitions in Europe, the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel, and the corporation previously had donated individual works to museums where its core businesses were located.

Between 1982 and 1999, Sara Lee donated $25.1 million to arts organizations and cultural institutions. During 1992, the company sponsored "The Ancient Americas: Art from Sacred Landscapes," an exhibition of 300 objects from more than 60 museums and private collections in Mexico, South America, the United States, and Europe. During 1988-1990 the Foundation funded an important series of art-exhibition exchanges among museums in the United States and Soviet Union. The grant of $1 million sponsored reciprocal loans among the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Hermitage in Leningrad and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. In the 2000, the foundation sponsored in cooperation with ComEd, "Pharaohs of the Sun: Akhenaten, Nefertiti, Tutankhamen." which was displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Description[ The 840-room Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers, which opened in downtown Seattle in 1982, was the first large hotel in the US to feature original artwork in all its guestrooms and public areas. The lithographs, paintings, sculptures, photographs and installations at the hotel form a collection of art valued at well over $1 million. The collection is a comprehensive, representative collection of high-quality contemporary art which includes paintings, graphics, photography, sculpture, works on paper, mixed media, crafts. The focus of the collection is the entire Northwest, including British Columbia. Works located in the guest rooms represent some of the Northwest's most exciting and promising artists. In 1982 The hotel commissioned twelve artists to produce two editions each of 150 original lithographs, and commissioned six photographs by local photographers for use in hotel guest rooms. The public areas of the hotel include works by the best of the Northwest's new and more established artists. The hotel's premier restaurant, Fullers, features works by "Northwest masters" Mark Tobey, Morris Graves, Kenneth Callahan, Guy Anderson and others. The private dining room in Fullers includes 27 pieces of glass made by artists who have taught or worked at the Pilchuck School in Stanwood. The artists include Dale Chihuly, William Morris, Benjamin Moore, Flora Mace, Joey Kirkpatrick and others. A major collection of contemporary Northwest Coast Native American art is installed in public areas on the hotel's first floor. In the process of updating its rooms, the Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers will be installing three new Chihuly artworks in each guestroom. The artworks, depicting glass sculptures from his celebrated series of works, include 20 original lithographs, signed and numbered in editions of 100, and over 35 woodblock prints in signed and numbered editions of 50... all created by Chihuly. There will also be photographic images relating to Chihuly's experience in Nuutaj"rvi, Finland in 1995, when he created the first of the chandeliers for his visionary 1996 Chihuly Over Venice project.

During this time, a numer of museum-quality works were acquired for the former Sprint World Headquarters in Westwood, Kansas, such as an Edward Moran oil painting, Fishing, Early Morning. Other purchases were made during the 1990s as the company expanded nationwide. Constuction began in 1997 for a new headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas, and soon afterwards, Sprint began to acquire more important works of art. The collection includes paintings, limited-edition prints, photography, sculpture, ceramics, glass and textiles in a wide variety of styles and subject matter. A collection of contemporary art representing artists of the region. The corporate art program is consistent with the history of the company, whose founder, Paul Henson, began collecting art in the 1960s. While Henson favored 19th century traditional paintings, today the Sprint collection focuses on work by living artists. Particularly notable is a recent installation of a major work by Kerry James Marshall, who in 1997 received a MacArthur Award. Marshall's untitled woodcut, consisting of 12 four-foot by eight-foot panels, has been installed in a reception area adjacent to the company's auditorium. Another recent acquisition is a work by Cuban-born artist Jos, Bedia. The company also recently commissioned a series of works by Bill Gaskins.
