ArtReview Publishes 66-Page Philanthropy Supplement

ArtReview has released a 66-page supplement titled Philanthropy, free with its May 2025 issue, examining global models of art philanthropy amid government funding cuts. The publication traces the history of arts patronage, with Leslie Ramos exploring motivations from altruism to status seeking, noting 19th-century beliefs that art elevates society. Country-specific features include Jareh Das on women-led philanthropy in Nigeria, Oliver Basciano on Brazil's SESC model funded by corporate tax, Kai Jabir Friese on Indian institutions playing it safe, Jenny Wu on the US 'second gilded age' and pandemic-driven inequality, and Mikala Tai on new private philanthropy models in Australia. Regional guides cover Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia, the US, and Australia. Interviews feature philanthropists Han Nefkens, Durjoy Rahman, Christian Levett, and Patrick Sun. New artworks by Dan Perjovschi and Guy Richards Smit are included, along with statistical outtakes. The supplement is supported by Durjoy Bangladesh Foundation, Han Nefkens Foundation, Levett Collection, and Sunpride Foundation.
