THE INSTITUTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART
Contemporary art is exhibited by commercial contemporary art galleries, private collectors, corporations, publicly funded arts organizations, contemporary art museums or by artists themselves in artist-run spaces. Contemporary artists are supported by grants, awards and prizes as well as by direct sales of their work.
There are close relationships between publicly funded contemporary art organisations and the commercial sector. For instance, in Britain a handful of dealers represent the artists featured in leading publicly funded contemporary art museums.
Individual collectors can wield considerable influence. Charles Saatchi has dominated the contemporary art market in Britain since the 1980s; the subtitle of the 1999 book Young British Artists: The Saatchi Decade uses of the name of the private collector to define an entire decade of contemporary art production.
Corporations have attempted to integrate themselves into the contemporary art world: exhibiting contemporary art within their premises, organising and sponsoring contemporary art awards and building up extensive collections.
At any one time a particular place or group of artists can have a strong influence on globally produced contemporary art; for instance New York artists in the 1980s.
CONTEMPORARY ART DISTRICTS
Commercial galleries tend to cluster in certain neighborhoods within cosmopolitan cities for economic and practical reasons, mainly that it is possible for the buyers and general public to view more art if they can travel by foot. In the past galleries have tended to cluster in neighborhoods with affordable real-estate due to the unprofitable nature of the business. Some of these districts are:
Chelsea, SoHo, and Williamsburg, New York City.
River North Gallery District, Near North Side, Chicago.
Cork Street, Fitzrovia, Hoxton and Vyner Street in London, UK.
798 Art Zone and Feijiacun, Beijing, China.
Insadong District, Seoul, Korea
Paddington, Redfern and Waterloo, Sydney, Australia
CBD, Finders Lane, Fitzroy and Richmond, Melbourne, Australia
Design District, Wynwood, Miami, Florida.
South Art District, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Karangahape Road, Auckland, New Zealand.
Brera Art District, Milan, Italy.
Tremont, Cleveland, Ohio.
West Queen West, Toronto, Canada.
