Barjeel Art Foundation is an independent UAE-based initiative dedicated to managing, preserving, and exhibiting a significant collection of modern and contemporary Arab art. The foundation’s guiding principle is to contribute to the intellectual development of the Arab art scene by building a prominent, publicly accessible collection in the UAE. Part of the objective is to foster critical dialogue on contemporary art practices, with a focus on artists of Arab heritage internationally. In 2016, it presented The Sea Suspended: Arab Modernism from the Barjeel Collection at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, marking the first exhibition of Arab modern art in Iran.
