Later directors approached the multifaceted duties of the museum in different ways. Georges Grappe who was director between 1925 and 1944 established a comprehensive system of stock management whereby various sculptures were filed under one of four different sections: works commissioned to be sold by the museum, to be at the museum, pieces which were paid for by the museum but delivered to a third party and finally pieces which were paid for by the buyers directly. A great deal of demand from the 1920s to the early 1940s substantially improved the museum's finances as well as helping to satisfy demand for the artist's work at public institutions and esteemed private collections throughout the world
