| Abstract
|
:
|
The United Arab Emirates is aiming to become a hub for art production by developing<br>numerous artists’ studios and residencies, a major sales arena with galleries, auction<br>houses and art fairs and becoming an alternative destination for established museums and<br>art institutions. This thesis will investigate the development of the United Arab Emirates<br>art market in relation to contributions by art patrons. It will focus on patrons and their<br>investments in art infrastructure projects: either by starting art organizations to support<br>artists or creating major art collections on a museum scale representing different Middle<br>Eastern nationalities. In doing so, these patrons are trying to change how the Middle East<br>is perceived globally. Without these art patrons, could the United Arab Emirates art<br>market function? Could the United Arab Emirates have an emerging art market supported<br>by its collector base alone? This thesis will investigate why major art collectors in the<br>region, acting as patrons, are investing in art infrastructure projects rather than just<br>expanding their collections and explain why the contributions of these patrons are<br>shaping the art eco-system in the United Arab Emirates.
