Public art gallery organized art exhibitions, although it can affect the artists of the market, but the public Museum of art is not a compliance or implied market. These institutions must maintain neutrality, and the target only to render the results of the knowledge society. In recent public sector budget cuts, many art museums need to reduce spending, open source, it is sometimes necessary to publications, tickets, or even sold to increase revenue collection. Sales of series the artist donated works of few or limited copies is a new open-source approach.

Purchase decision is made up of six panels of the Commission, the six from text, Visual Arts, curator and so on, plus the United Kingdom Arts Council and heads HaywayGallery. However apart from the United Kingdom Arts Council collection has a professional, many galleries criticism of other public bodies, including the National Gallery and some parts of the Museum to purchase enough professional, information strategy, behind, there is no way a conservative, and so on. And public institutions of movement can also cause Gallery speculative, there are some artists Gallery agent and is not out of admiration, but finds his style would be public collections. Public decision-making is not dominant art market, especially if you want to use a large number of buy contemporary art to stimulate market transactions, knot too always counterproductive. Because this will promote commercial and public bodies, public agencies, all flows of goods, works, not a real market value of the future even if you want to transfer a market without quotes. Public authority's main task lies in the professional culture and art of the spirit and values of knowledge, there is clearly rendered calendarHistory of the roles and social functions, is not suitable for urgent assistance art industry and putting the cart before the horse.
