¯(ツ)/¯ it's not in the public sphere but your private collection, so you do you chap.
In my opinion privately owned art of a high enough cultural value should either not be allowed to be privately owned, or if it is then it should have to be on permanent loan to free admission public galleries. But that's not the case.
- Yeah more government intervention is what the world needs.
  
  Yeah cause leaving companies and the super rich to self regulate has worked so well.
  
  So now we want to spend tax payer money keeping track of art? Fuck that lol
  
  Better than spending it giving tax breaks to the rich or subsidising companies that are destroying the planet.
