Eeerr, no, the job of a PM is to get the job done within budget and to a standard suffient to fulfill the brief. If he starts badgering (sorry, maybe the wrong word...) the client for money over and above what's specified to discharge the planning constraint or whatever (which by and large is the only thing they're interested in) he's going to be looking for a new client, and if he loses enough clients probably a new job. It's down to whoever writes the brief to include PR stuff, ie the curator. It's merely the PMs job to fulfill any such requirements on behalf of the client
