Picasso, Calder, Man Ray and Chagall would probably thrive in today's creative business environment. All shared a passion for rethinking the status quo and their works have had a lasting impression. The Balser Art Collections reside at Wharton and Goizueta business schools to inspire executives pursuing business education. Through images and three dimensional art, their presence in these environments trumpets ideas like newness, synthesis greatness – with a decidedly global perspective. Provided by the founder and former owners of this firm to the Steinberg Conference Center at Wharton and a new facility for executive education at Emory University's Goizueta School of Business, the works are viewed by thousands of leading business minds.

President & CEO Bud Russell, who is a Wharton Fellow and participates in its international executive programs, says, “the Balsers believe creative thinking–whether in business or in the arts, inspires a response that leads to something better than expected, something more. You’ll find the executive education and other programs sponsored by Wharton and Goizueta influence the direction and success of leading companies around the world today.” Executive “students” include a number of Balser’s clients.
