Art and money

I've noticed that some of the most extensive art collections in the Philippines, both paintings and sculptures, are owned by banks. One of these days, I have to find out whether the bank buys them as investment pieces or if they're accepted in lieu of cash when an artist or collector defaults on a loan. I didn't get the name of this sculpture or its artist, but I saw it in the lounge of Banco de Oro's head office when our university hosted an event for alumni employed by the bank.
