This is where open, collaborative agreements would be nice to see. There are square miles of government wall space where the public could enjoy publically owned art, but instead of paying 300K annual for a small traveling "open curation" group, the museums jealously horde all the art in basements that cost $50M to build and required $1M annual upkeep.
I have a real concerns about the leadership of the art world. From my perspective, they think they're in the business of catering to billioniares and manicuring real estate, when their real job is supposed to be exposing the society to art.
If you're interested in the art world, I highly recommend Don Thompson's The $12 Million Stuffed Shark

There was a great Planet Money episode on this a while back: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/02/09/584555705/episode-823-planet-monet https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/02/09/584555705/epis...
