Abstract

Commercial art galleries are essential in developing national art through various organized activities. Information and data related to commercial art galleries could be more extensive, especially in the form of scientific writing. The objective of this study is to trace and document chronologically the establishment of commercial art galleries and the activities organized from the 1960s and 1990s. It is a contributing factor to the development process of local art. Information was collected through various publications such as newspaper clippings, books, magazines and catalogues. Starting with four galleries in the 1960s, it is growing. Several galleries are run by artists and individuals who see this industry as having the potential to progress. The age of business also influenced the local painting landscape. Some commercial galleries have less than five years of operation. Kuala Lumpur is still the location of choice for entrepreneurs, and several commercial galleries are operating around the Kelang Valley, Malacca and Penang. Over the past four years, 38 commercial art galleries have been working in the country.
