The Art Riddler, an anonymous figure in Dublin's art scene, has been funding exhibitions since 2021, taking no commission and charging no entry fees. In a rare interview, the patron described these efforts as 'expensive therapy,' emphasizing that they are not a millionaire despite public perception.
According to verified reports from Irish media, the Art Riddler's identity remains unknown, but their contributions have supported emerging artists in Dublin. The exhibitions are organized without profit motive, focusing on accessibility and community engagement.
The patron's statement, 'People must think I'm a millionaire, but I'm not,' highlights the personal financial sacrifice involved. The initiative has grown over four years, though specific funding sources or total costs have not been disclosed.
