Rebuild Foundation

A gallery assistant poses for a photograph with an artwork entitled 'Wellesley Girls, 1967' by US artist Alice Neel during a press preview of 'Alice Neel: Hot Off The Griddle' at the Barbican Art Gallery in London on February 15, 2023.

How Philanthropy Is Reshaping the Global Art Ecosystem

Gilles de Greling, Palm Beach Director of Gander & White, analyzes how philanthropy has evolved from episodic generosity into a foundational pillar of the contemporary art ecosystem. He traces how auctions, museums and new institutions are increasingly reliant on collaborative philanthropic models to sustain education, community engagement and long-term cultural impact.

A photo of three women standing close together in an art gallery. The woman on the left is wearing a bright pink coat over a graphic top, has long blonde hair in a high ponytail, and looks directly at the camera with a slight smile. The woman in the middle has long, wavy brown hair, wears a black jacket over a yellow plaid crop top, and smiles warmly. The woman on the right wears a sparkling green blouse with a long necklace, has blonde shoulder-length hair, and smiles brightly. The gallery background is clean and minimal, with white walls and a figure slightly visible behind them.
