On The Move: Art as Process

Process–the “how” of artmaking–is one of the most mercurial aspects of creative production. Finding a process that works is the cornerstone of productivity; yet artists struggle to identify it, articulate it, and reflect on it. Historically, the question that critics and audiences love to ask of artists—“how did you make this?”—has been a carefully guarded mystery, and is difficult to answer. The artistic process often verges far from transparency, consistency, and linearity, and any question of “how” often opens onto another complex question of intentionality–the “why” of artmaking.

Leading the charge is an exceptionally rare Islamic bronze aquamanile, a magnificent rendering of a buck from 8th century Iraq, which carries an estimate of £2 – 3 million in its first-ever auction appearance. The exhibition will be open to the public daily in the DIFC, following which the pieces will travel to London to be auctioned as part of Sotheby’s bi-annual Middle Eastern art week in New Bond Street.

Exhibition of Over 100 Original Masterpieces by Legendary Pop Artist Andy Warhol Comes to the UAE for the First Time

This exhibition traces Andy Warhol’s rise from his humble beginnings as an illustrator to the superstar of contemporary art. Warhol’s work was inspired by the symbols of consumer society and by the lifestyles of the “Rich and Famous”, wich had attracted him since childhood. Warhol took the 3C’S marketing method and gave it a very personal twist: Celebrities, Consumers and Culture. He redefined the stature and power of the artist. His work continues, to this day, to inspire and provoke.
