Art2Bank: The Art of Patronage and Investment

Featured Exhibitions

Art galleries, dealers, fairs, museums and societies are the essential ingredients for promoting new talent. When an artist begins to attract attention from the art market and the media through exhibitions, awards and effective promotion they can be referred to as 'emerging artists'.

All investment grade artists, like the now firmly established Zhang Xiaogang and Louise Bourgeois, have been described as such early in their careers and recommended to some very lucky patrons.

To follow is a selection of international museums and exhibitions promoting contemporary artists, many of these having work resident with some major corporate and individual collectors ... The international art market is coming into its own with new emerging talent and wealthy eastern collectors now driving this market.
