Gulf Gateways, Global Biennales, and AI to Define the 2026 Art Market

The 2026 art market looks to ride a Gulf-led expansion (new museums and fairs like Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, Frieze Abu Dhabi, and Art Basel Qatar) alongside a global Biennale circuit, with auction houses prioritizing historically strong, provenance-backed works and a wave of gallery consolidation and hybrid models. AI’s growing role intensifies in operations and debates over copyright, while collectors and institutions seek quality, transparency, and institutional validation amid ongoing volatility and modest macro growth.

The Copyright Conundrum: AI-Generated Art and the Future of Generative AI

The US copyright office review board has ruled that an AI-generated image, Théâtre d’Opéra Spatial, cannot be copyrighted because it was not made sufficiently by humans. The artist, Jason Allen, claimed authorship of the image by using an AI-platform and providing prompts and adjustments. However, the board determined that if all elements of a work were produced by a machine, it lacks human authorship and is ineligible for copyright protection. This decision adds to the ongoing debate about the impact of AI on creative industries, including concerns raised by writers, actors, musicians, and photographers. Additionally, the article mentions the declining practical use and value of NFTs, with 95% of over 73,000 studied tokens being deemed of no practical value.
