Selected
art / artistic / art world credentials
This is the benefit that the patron gets from supporting the arts: they (either personally or their company and associated products) gain a reputation for being sensitive, aware, knowledgeable, on the ball (however they like to spin it) about art. I have suggested "art / artistic / art world credentials" because the choice of word depends somewhat on what business the patron is in and what fits best with that.

patron of the arts
"caution" in the sense of "backer/support" :)

Timothy Rake
: in the context, how do you then deal with "mecène", which also translates as "patron"?

"mécène" can also be translated as "sponsor" - because it can be a company sponsoring a non-artistic endeavor (sports, for example) - but I look forward to your alternate proposal! :)

: I'm with Timothy - I can't see how "caution" becomes "patron".

Well, according to the Collins-Robert dictionary, one definition of "caution" is "backing" or "support"; a patron is a backer of sorts... But of course, if the translator has already used that term, the point is moot!

artistic imprimatur
A little unusual, but it might fit here.

: I think it is the other way round, the patron can hardly bestow an "artistic imprimatur" on the artist or gallery, what the patron gives is money.

It depends who the patron is and who the artist is, and I grant that this might be a stretch. My thought is, for instance, of the Cone Sisters in Baltimore, or Gertrude Stein in Paris. But (phil is right) more context might help a lot.
