In these days, the rich want to buy and collect high cost works of art. For example, Mrs. Hong who is Lee kun-hee's wife attracted public attention not long ago, because she purchased Liechtenstein's 'Happy tears' which costs 20 billion won(200억). Then, what's the reason that the rich are buying and collecting expensive artworks?
It's because most artworks are dealed in cash. It means a seller and a purchaser can manipulate the deal. So, sometimes companies used artworks to make money called as secret fund.
Purchasing and collecting high cost artworks is not a problem, but using it in bad ways are problems and it can make the public have a bad image in buying expensive artworks.
