Meister, in the West today have a situation where appeared quite a lot of new museums, sponsored, as a rule, private foundations. This is due to the tax system in many countries, so that investments in culture, science, health, being inherently charity, helping others to save on taxes.
These new museums, forming their own exposure, with good intentions will not be able to collect entire collection of outstanding masters of past centuries, hence it makes no sense to buy some Modigliani and Soutine. But the collection of modern art is realistic and affordable. For contemporary art in the majority is quite inexpensive and infinitely many. Adding to this collection of two or three works of creators such as promoted Koons or Basque Museum is the Museum.
