I figure it’s fairly likely that anyone who buys this isn’t doing it for the pleasure of owning it, but because it’s a commodity that they expect will increase in value. Not that that’s any better, really.

Banks and insurances are buying art and normally are kept in vaults. They do it as a reserve of value, but sometimes they put them in exhibitions, like this Homepage
