Dear Shlomit,

It seems to me that most corporate collections are private ones intended to beautify their offices, to diversify income as investments and to create an impression of the corporation's power to acquire famous works and display them in their boardrooms. As such, I cannot think of a single source to provide all of the information you seek. 

Have you tried writing to Forbes' top 500 companies? Also, have you considered university art collections? Many of them function in a similar manner where top professors may request particular works to grace their offices.

Such an interesting topic. I wish you all the best for your research. I would be very interested to learn your conclusions.

Regards,
Ware Petznick
