Christie’s hosts largest Arab art exhibition in London

London’s largest exhibition of modern and contemporary Arab art is being hosted by Christie’s, a leading global portfolio of art and luxury services, this summer.

On display at the exhibition are collections from “Kawkaba’ (constellation) – a collaborative initiative between Barjeel Art Foundation based in the UAE emirate of Sharjah, and the London-based Christie’s.

The exhibition presents over 150 works across mediums including paintings, sculpture, drawings, and installations spanning 80 years of creativity from 1939 to 2023.

These include works of the UAE artist Hassan Sharif, and other Emirates artists who introduced conceptual art to the region.

This Arab art exhibition, which is the first of its kind in London, is a window into the soul of the Arab world revealing an exploration of the region’s richness while paying tribute to its unwavering resilience and boundless creativity.

It is arranged by a unique partnership between the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Culture and Youth and Barjeel Art Foundation.
