FOI Request - Local Authority Artwork

Request 101003447557

I am writing to obtain information about local authority ownership of artwork.
Please provide the following information:
1. How many artworks have been purchased by the local authority in 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23?
2.  How many artworks are in the possession of the local authority?
3.  What is the estimated value of the artworks?
4.  How many artworks are on public display?  

Public display includes those that can be viewed by the members of the public in local authority buildings such as council headquarters, libraries, sports and leisure centres, and schools that are under local authority control. It would exclude areas of council properties that cannot be readily entered into by members of the public (such as, the office of the head of paid service).

Artwork includes, but is not limited to, paintings, photographs, sculptures, and electronic art
