“ArtpAris” in ABu dhABi<br />
<strong>Pablo</strong> <strong>Picasso</strong> <strong>Meets</strong> <strong>Marilyn</strong> <strong>Monroe</strong><br />
The art expo “artparis” has been taking place annually in the heart of France since 1999. After intensive negotiations the expo<br />
will relocate this year to the UAE capital city of Abu Dhabi. For the first time this renowned exhibit will not take place under<br />
the glass dome of the Grand Palais in Paris, but in the exhibition rooms of the Emirates Palace.<br />
This move is another step in aiding the efforts of the government to make Abu Dhabi the future cultural destination in the Middle East.<br />
Art works worth 400 million US dollars will be displayed and sold in the noble halls of the Emirates Palace (26. - 29. November 2007). A total<br />
of 46 galleries from 16 countries will show modern and contemporary art of the 20 th and 21 st centuries. Masterpieces from renowned artists like<br />
PABLo PICASSo, MARC CHAGALL, JoAN MIRo and ANDy WARHoL are among the 3,000 pieces of art.<br />
Works from almost 7,000 artists will be shown during the “artparis-abudhabi”. Paintings, sculptures and photography from the whole world will<br />
find their way to the desert. The highlight of the show will be the sale of ANDy WARHoL’s painting of <strong>Marilyn</strong> <strong>Monroe</strong>. Experts believe the painting<br />
could sell for up to four million US dollars.<br />
Arabian artists will show their works and a selection of exclusive calligraphy will be shown under “Signs and Calligraphy”. The “artparis-abudhabi”<br />
builds a bridge between cultures with its presentation of Western and Arabian artists.<br />
Under the patronage of HH SHEIKH MoHAM<strong>ME</strong>D BIN ZAyED AL NAHyAN, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the<br />
UAE Armed Forces, another milestone was laid to bring Abu Dhabi to top position in cultural affairs in the region. This tactically smart move brings<br />
the “artparis” which has risen to fame in just a few years time to the Gulf. Critics consider this exhibit to be the crème de la crème of art exhibits<br />
and expect it to lure connoisseurs of modern and contemporary art from Europe to the UAE.<br />
Artparis will definitely attract the media’s attention before the opening of the Guggenheim Museum or the Louvre Abu Dhabi. The small country<br />
on the Gulf sets new standards and has convinced critics of its ambition to become a cultural hub in the Middle East. ←<br />
