After accumulating a lot of wealth, collecting artworks and sponsoring artists has become one of the cultural ecosystems with a long history in the West. In the history of art, there are constantly huge and extremely rich collection families. They are not artistic creators, but they influence the development of art all the time. They are not only an artist's ATM, but also an artist's bole, confidant and spiritual companion.
