At one ___ , only the largest, most powerful companies had real works of art hanging in their boardrooms. These were usually expensive paintings by well-known artists whose work smaller companies couldn't ___ . If a smaller company wanted to ___ in a more modest work of art, this could ___ up a lot of staff time as it involved visits to art galleries and somebody making a choice in the ___ that their colleagues would like it. But things have changed because now art has ___ online. These days there are websites to help companies find the right picture or piece of sculpture. Most employees who buy art for their workplaces don't know a great ___ about it. So one of the main aims of the website is to ___ them in their choice. Details of the type of artwork they want and their budget are entered into a search engine, and a selection of art ___ up on screen for all to see.
