Corporations do more to put art on public display

A 3-dimensional piece made from medical plaster bandages by artist George Segal, and based on Paul Cezanne's still life series, hangs in the executive dining room of the world headquarters of Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, N.J. on Tuesday, July 30, 2013. While the collection includes such famous names as Segal and Toshiko Takeazu, not every object is a block buster piece, in-house curator, Michael Bzdak said. "But each is chosen with thought ... and how it's a teachable moment for our employees," he said. (AP Photo/Mel Evans) NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.
