西方的艺术基金会在很长的时间里并不为中国人所熟悉。可以说,我们对西方当代艺术发展有比较深入的了解,但是对在艺术背后发展起到支撑作用的各类基金会的认识却知之甚少。而我们看到的西方艺术机构、艺术事件,甚至是我们的某些艺术活动,与西方艺术基金会有根本的或是千丝万缕的联系。 Western art foundations are not familiar to Chinese for a long time. It can be said that we have a more in-depth understanding of the development of Western contemporary art, but little is known about the various foundations that play a supporting role in the development behind the arts. And the Western art institutions we see, the events of art, and even some of our art activities, have a fundamental or inextricable connection with Western art foundations.
