An interesting answer to this question can be found at
http://www.bobsart.com/. This is a site I have been building for The
Robert J. Shiffler Collection and Archive.  Bobsart.com showcases a
world-class collection of cutting-edge contemporary art.  The
collection's quality makes the site worth visiting, but too, it hopefully
will "push" other important private collectors (not just contemporary art
interested) to get their holdings on line for the public to see and
curators to use.
