It was published as the </B><B>ARTnews International Directory of Corporate Art Collections</B><B> between 1986 - 1994. In 1998 we began to produce the Directory on CD-ROM. If you would like a paper copy, you can order a spiral-bound printout of all of the information on the CD-ROM -- this is approximately 600 pages. Further information is available on the order form.</B><B> </B></div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> If you follow news of the business world, you've surely noticed how fast the corporate and business world changes -- which also means that corporate art collections change as well. When we published the directory in a printed book form, we found that during the two or three-year intervals between updates, there were extensive changes -- new collections appearing, some companies merging with others, some collections sold, and some companies disappearing completely. </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Because the Directory is now published in a CD-ROM format, we are able to update and add new collections constantly without waiting for the publication of a new edition. We have eliminated the release of the Directory as a bi-annual publication of year-specific editions. </div> <bR> <div> We check and update the information of about 75-100 collections every month and we add new collections or make corrections on existing listings whenever we become aware of changes. It is an ongoing process and takes approximately 18 months to 2 years to make a complete cycle, but there is never a point when the "job is done" because a corporation's strategy can change overnight! This updating process has made the directory a constantly growing and evolving project -- a living "work in progress."</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="15" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="477" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#0033CC > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 150 WIDTH="445"><bR> <div> <B>Since the directory is an ongoing project and is constantly being added to and edited,  every month, the latest versions of the Directory files will be uploaded onto the website in a protected location, so that subscribers will be able to access the newest version  for a period of one year.   When you order the directory and I send you the CD, I will enclose a password and user ID so that you can locate the latest version of the directory and copy the files onto your computer.</B></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="10" CELLPADDING="15" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="494" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#003366" BORDERCOLORDARK="#003366" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#9999CC > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 179 WIDTH="237"><bR> <div> <B>Many of the world's finest hotels feature art as one of their attractions -- lobbies, bars, re</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000099" FACE="Arial" ><B>staurants,  and guest rooms have beco</B></FONT><B>me</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B> </B></FONT><B>showcases for local and international artists. </B></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000080" FACE="Arial" ><B>Visit our sister website that highlights some of the finest art collections in hotels,           </B></FONT><B>  </B><A HREF="http://www.artfulhotels.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.artfulhotels.com"><B>Artful Hotels</B></A></div> <bR> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="170"><bR> <div> <B>You may also enjoy viewing our other website with news of the corporate art world -- the </B></div> <div> <B>Corporate Artbrief can be found at :</B><B> </B></div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="http://www.humanities-exchange.org/artbrief" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.humanities-exchange.org/artbr"><B>Corporate Artbrief</B></A></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <I><B>The Humanities Exchange, 2840 West Bay Drive, # 250, Belleair Bluffs, FL 33770</B></I><B> </B></div> <div> <I><B>tel: 514  935  1228; fax: 514-935-1299</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>corporate.directory@earthlink.net</B></I></div> <bR> <div>   <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://hits.nextstat.com/cgi-bin/wsv2.cgi?91155"></script> <noscript> <a href="http://www.webstat.com"> <img src="http://hits.nextstat.com/scripts/wsb.php?ac=91155" border="0" alt="Website Metrics and Site Statistics by NextSTAT" /></a> </noscript>   </div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
