Enron’s Art

It may be last year’s news, but the defunct Enron Corporation is still trying to pay off its accumulated debt, mainly through asset liquidation, and the company’s art colection is the latest asset to hit the block. When it was acquiring the collection, Enron hoped to eventually be the caretaker of an eye-popping collection of important contemporary art, but the open disdain of auction attendees would suggest that Enron’s taste in art was as flawed as its bookkeeping.
