The Emirati collector Sultan Sooud Al-Qassemi, a member of the ruling family of Sharjah, founded the Barjeel Art Foundation in 2010. The non-profit institution manages, preserves and exhibits around 1,500 artworks — mostly modern and contemporary pieces by Arab artists — presenting them at both the Sharjah Art Museum and abroad. So far, it has loaned items to institutions including Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum, the Whitechapel Gallery in London, Toronto’s Aga Khan Museum, the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris and the Singapore Art Museum.
