While art banking has already reached a stable position globally, its Polish counterpart is still fighting for recognition and the opportunity to establish stable framework for cooperation between the world of art and that of finance. The article undertakes a multidimensional comparative analysis in order to find reasons for the weakness of Polish art banking, confronting it with existing banking services and the investment environment of countries such as Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
