But a dissertation is not the effort of just one person; many debts of gratitude are owed. First and foremost, I would like to thank my main supervisor Benedikte Brincker, Centre for Business History, Department of Management Politics and Philosophy, Copenhagen Business School, who for the past four years has proven a wonderful sparring partner, mentor and friend. I am forever grateful for the sincerity, patience and generosity with which you have engaged with my work. With an uncanny acuity to the fears and hopes of any PhD student, the Irish poet William Butler Yeats writes; tread softly, because you tread on my dreams – you have understood this implicitly – and that has made all the difference. I would also like to extend my utmost gratitude to my co-supervisor, Roy Suddaby, Professor and Research Advisor at Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, University of Victoria, and Newcastle University Business School. I have been immensely grateful for your openness, mentoring and way of being, from our very first meeting at EGOS in 2013, through a wonderful research stay at University of Victoria during September 2015 and our continued collaboration. Thank you for the kindness you showed my family, while we visited Victoria. Thanks to my wonderful office-mate Josef, from Uppsala University. And thank you to the wonderful scholars and staff at Peter B. Gustavson School of Business, I hope to see you all again. A special thank you to the Department of Business and Politics at Copenhagen Business School, for selecting this project for a stipend, when it was at its earliest stage, for providing an enriching and inspiring environment and for continuous support throughout the development of my project. I would especially like to thank Anker Brink Lund and Centre for Civil Society Studies for interesting seminars and feedback, as well as Liv Egholm Feldt and Per Øhrgaard for acting as discussants at my first WIP. Thank you to the lovely colleagues; Professors, PhD-students and administrative staff at DBP, who made it a joy to come to work. I would particularly like to thank Juan for being the world’s best office-mate, Magnus for sharing his contagious enthusiasm with the work of Boltanski and Thévenot, and not least Verena for so many lovely memories along the way. A big thank you also to Hans Krause Hansen and the entire Doctoral School of Organisation and Management Studies for four wonderful years in OMS. I would also like to thank the Department of Government at London School of Economics, for a wonderful trimester (in both senses!) during the fall of 2013. Particularly, I would like to thank Professor John Hutchinson and Professor Mark Thatcher for their seminars and guidance and not least the lovely PhD students at the Department of Government. A special thank you to my family, Michael and Margit, and friends Lise, Chris, Nik and David for making the stay so enjoyable. 5 In a fortuitous turn of events, and in perfect synchronicity with budding interests, I have been able to spend the last eight months of my work at the Department of Management Politics and Philosophy’s Centre for Business History here at Copenhagen Business School. In this regard, I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to Centre Director, Mads Mordhorst, Head of Department, Lotte Jensen, Head of Secretariat, Henrik Hermansen, and all the wonderful colleagues at the centre and department for their kindness and inclusivity. You are a true inspiration and I hope to contribute to, collaborate and engage with your way of working much more in the future. Along the way many people have offered invaluable guidance and feedback. I am indebted to my master thesis supervisor Can Seng Ooi, Center for Leisure and Culture Services, Department of International Economics and Management who helped form the earliest ideas of this project and Eleonora Belfiore, Centre for Cultural Policy Studies, University of Warwick, whose insights during an interview in 2011 gave me a sense of what could be interesting to study, both should also be thanked for encouraging me to pursue a PhD. I would also particularly like to thank Mukti Khaire, Bernard Leca, Roy Suddaby and the participants of Stream 13, for their inspiring papers and invaluable feedback to some very early ideas at EGOS in Montreal. The organisers and participants of the ‘Uses of the past’ PDW at Copenhagen Business School, December 2015, are also thanked for their generous feedback to an early version of paper 3, particularly Andy Popp and Daniel Wadhwani. Eva Boxenbaum, Department of Organization, Copenhagen Business School and Christina Lubinski, Centre for Business History, Department of Management Politics and Philosophy are thanked for generously giving feedback at my Closing Seminar, which helped me in the final stages of the project. I would also like to thank the organisers and participants at the Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal’s PDW and Business History Conference this April in Portland, Oregon, for inspiring presentations and generous comments. The openness and availability of the New Carlsberg Foundation and the Danish Arts Foundation has provided invaluable background information and source material for this thesis. Particularly, I would like to thank Anne Krøjgaard, Hans Edvard Nørregård-Nielsen, Karsten Ohrt, Morten Kyndrup, Maria Fabricius-Hansen, Tom Hermansen and Claus Grønne of the New Carlsberg Foundation. Nørregård-Nielsen in particular should be thanked for his beautiful and evocative writings about Danish art and philanthropy, which made the reading of the foundations (he has served in both) annual reports a joy. I would also like to sincerely thank Jesper Smed Jensen, Anette Østerbye and Gitte Ørskou of the Danish Arts Foundation. Last, but not least I would like to thank my friends and family. Mum, Dad and Marie, Mona and Jens. But above and beyond anyone else – Anders – We have been through this before, when you submitted your PhD 30 days after the birth of our wonderful baby boy. Becoming a family and a parent, has been a greater joy than I could ever have imagined. Thank you for doing so much to keep this family, loved, fed and occasionally taken out for fresh air. Ida L. Jørgensen, Copenhagen, May 27th, 2016 6 Preface The following dissertation aims to improve the theoretical and empirical understanding of public and private support for the visual arts, both at an institutional and organisational level. This topic is increasingly relevant due to the on-going debate in Danish society about the power and closed nature of private foundations supporting the arts and a more regularly appearing debate concerning the purpose and practices of the Danish Arts Foundation since its establishment.
