“Globalization” is not only an economic term and expresses the whole transformation of our lives in relation to time and space. Globalization comprises of economic, political and socio-cultural structures together with the global use of new communication technology. While it continues its economic existence based on Neo-liberal economic policies, its social existence is based on Neo-liberal acculturation. As it is known, in global financial markets, a big amount of merchandise and fund movements occur, thousands of multinational companies take place in this network and also they manage this network. Globalization brings the interdependence of countries and it benefits from the sources of developing countries that try to find themselves a place in this global world. Globalization unavoidably provides these countries new opportunities. On one hand, globalization tries to find itself a place with the opportunities created by modernization. On the other hand, it tries to keep its existence on the basis of colonization as a feudal term. This sharp contradiction creates an irresistibly appealing contrast. “Contemporary art” reveals this contradiction of globalization and its serious tension with the liberalization’s own tools. Globalization derives benefit also from the art that mostly contradicts globalization and presents an essential market including the art market to the world. In this paper, globalization’s ideological relationship with art is examined. Globalization’s foundations and mechanisms are constituted by Neo-liberal policies. As it constitutes an important part of man and life, art is being articulated to the concept of globalization in terms of “contemporary art”. In this paper, art’s relationships, contradictions, the interaction with globalization, how the dynamics created by globalization and its tools are reflected in art, art’s view of globalization are examined and then art market is presented with figures and numbers.
