Barjeel Art Foundation is a non-profit arts organisation based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. The foundation was established in 2010 by Emirati commentator Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi to manage and exhibit his personal art collection.[1] There are over 1,000 pieces of modern and contemporary art in the foundation's art collection.[2] The organisation primarily focuses on artwork produced by Arab artists worldwide and includes paintings, sculptures and installations.[3]
Between 2013 and 2018, the foundation mounted 23 exhibitions in countries including Egypt, UK, Jordan, United States, Kuwait, Singapore, and Iran.[4][5][6][7][8][9] In May 2018, a semi-permanent exhibition of the key artworks opened in the Sharjah Art Museum.[4] From 2018 through 2022, the exhibition Taking Shape: Abstraction From the Arab World, 1950s-1980 was hosted at museums and galleries in the states of New York, Massachusetts, Florida, and Illinois in the US.[10][11][12][13][14]
