Artists Own has been working closely with Purdue's College of Engineering as they made their transition to the new Armstrong Hall of Engineering. They wanted larger, innovative, and contemporary work to grace their ample wall spaces over the two upper floors. We worked with them to find art they liked, that complement the offices and workspaces.
Today when visitors enter Armstrong Hall they are greeted with exciting visual art, which reinforces the College of Engineering’s campaign to encourage innovation, cooperation, diversity, and discovery. They have also commissioned a few "showstoppers" which should be ready before the fall semester.
Instead of owning the artwork, they are leasing the pieces. AO has designed a leasing schedule that allows them to "have" the artwork, without the need to own it long term. This allows them to avoid the maintenance and conservation responsibilities. The artworks are leased in 3 month, 6 month, or 12 month bundles, with a charge of 1/15 (one-fifteenth) of the retail value per artwork per month. At the end of the lease period, any payments can be applied to the purchase of the artwork, or the artwork can be returned, and new artwork may be chosen to replace it. As an added value we are happy to install the artwork, or you can install it with our instructions.
