The Tom and Mary James/Raymond James Financial Art Collection\, one of Florida's largest private art collections\, consists of over 1\,850 pieces including original paintings\, sculptures\, and graphics (prints and posters). More than 95% of the collection is owned by Tom James\, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Raymond James Financial\, and his wife Mary. The collection is on display at the firm's corporate headquarters in St. Petersburg\, Florida. The art is placed on different floors of each campus building according to style and theme.
Mr. James has selected almost every piece of artwork himself. While some of the artists in the collection are now deceased\, he believes buying works from living artists helps to sustain them in their profession. \; Visit http://raymondjames.com/art/virtual_tour.htm \;for more detail information.
