The Guggenheim Abu Dhabi is an example of creating a place where the urban elite can stay, play, and view beautiful art.  The development of this area continues to increase the appeal to the very people who dealers are trying to sell there are too.  The area is being marketed to a higher cliental, people who have money to spend.  As the art market changes from wealthy Americans, to other wealthy buyers' exposure over seas is the place to be.  By the Guggenheim building in Abu Dhabi the Guggenheim name is associated with art and beautiful buildings in a new market.  By building the museum they have positioned themselves as a place to visit in a new tourist market.  Like those who come to New York City for the museums and galleries, Abu Dhabi will attack those who want the Museum and art but on the coast of the Arabian Gulf.  A place for sun, fun and culture  Image Added
