This year, Singapore Art Week served as the opening gambit in a reconfigured 2026 art calendar—one where upcoming launches like Art Basel Qatar in February and Frieze Abu Dhabi in November continue to pull the market’s center of gravity away from the traditional Euro-American circuit. The integration of ART SG and S.E.A. Among the standout presentations was one by Indonesia’s ISA Art Gallery, founded by Deborah Iskandar, which paired works by Bali-based artist Ines Katamso with pieces by Arahmaiani. Beyond the fairs, institutional activity underscored Singapore’s growing cultural infrastructure. Long based in the city, Lorinet this year also helped shape the Singapore Art Museum’s ART SG Fund—supported alongside founding benefactors Carmen Yixuan Li and Pure Yichun Chen—which saw its acquisition budget rise from S$150,000 to S$250,000.
