Abstract
The art market has boomed in recent years, with gallery clusters mushrooming across Singapore and an increasing number of art fairs, from just one in 2000 to eight in 2014, affirming the growing interest in art amongst Singaporeans.
Art-related businesses such as framing and art insurance have also seen an increase in business due to the increase in art activity here. Singapore is fast on track to becoming Southeast Asia’s arts hub, a notion the government had planned 26 years ago. This feature package attempts to show a clearer picture of how different stakeholders in the art market are doing, what to expect when you visit potential places to buy art and also the inevitable dangers that have arose from this trend. The side stories present a refreshing insight into the art business from non-conventional art industry players.
