Description

Arthur Andersen & Co. commissioned this rare art glass globe to commemorate their 75th anniversary in 1988. It was made by Correia and each is hand-etched on the bottom with its unique registration number and "Correia for Arthur Andersen & Co 1988". The bottom also has their motto "Think Straight Talk Straight" as well as their double door logo which was inspired from the original wooden double doors to their first office in Chicago.

The Art Glass globe is a deep black and features a star over Chicago, the location of their headquarters.

Arthur Andersen was founded in 1913 in Chicago and would become one the world's largest and most respected accounting firms. They were a member of the "Big Five" accounting firms until their collapse in 2002 after questionable accounting practices lead to the Enron and WorldCom bankruptcies. The firm was found to have engaged in unethical behavior by destroying documents related to its audit of Enron, which had been engaged in widespread accounting fraud. In 2002, following a conviction for obstruction of justice, the firm was effectively dissolved.
