SUMMARY:MAWASIM: 20 Years of Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art
DESCRIPTION:Christie’s first live auction of fine art in Abu Dhabi takes place on 1 November\, preceded by two viewing days open to all. There will be more than 70 works from six decades of museum-quality art that traces the evolution of artistic practices across the Middle East and North Africa. \nHighlights include … \nPaul Guiragossian\, Noces (1958-59) A vibrant wedding scene that reflects Guiragossian’s enduring themes of home\, community and human connection; the work was exhibited at his first major exhibition in Lebanon in 1959. Estimate: $300\,000-500\,000 \nSamia Halaby\, Yesterday (1978) An important work from Samia Halaby’s 1970s\, when the Palestinian-American artist forged her distinctive language of geometric abstraction. Estimate: $200\,000-300\,000 \nMohamed Melehi\, A30 (1962: right) From Mohamed Melehi’s seminal 1960–62 series of ‘black works’\, reflecting his experimentation with the bianco e nero technique and his engagement with Zen and Sufi. Estimate:$100\,000-150\,000 \nNadia Saikali\, Mandala Bleu Nuit (1982) From an important mature phase of Saikali’s work\, characterised by its meditative and spiritual abstraction. Four other works from the Barjeel Art Foundation are also offered in the sale.  Estimate: $30\,000-50\,000 \nMarwan Kassab-Bachi\, Kopf (Head) (1987) A pivotal moment in the evolution of Marwan’s portraiture\, moving from the horizontally stretched facial landscapes of the 1970s towards the vertical\, frontal heads that became a defining motif of his mature practice. Estimate: $200\,000-300\,000 \nInji Efflatoun\, Untitled (1987) One of Inji Efflatoun’s last works\, representing the culmination of the Egyptian modernist’s practice\, characterised by a lyrical synthesis of nature and the built environment through expressive colour and line. One of eight works from the Dalloul Collection offered in the auction. Estimate: $40\,000-60\,000 \nThe auction will be accompanied by a programme of previews\, talks and educational events; details to be announced “in due course”\, but signing up for Christie’s mailers will presumably get you advance information.

SUMMARY:CLOSING TODAY Hisham Sharif: Allusive Veil
DESCRIPTION:Sharif’s first solo exhibition in the UAE presents an autobiographical and very personal series of works about the struggles of private and artist life in a closed society – “a vulnerable\, nuanced presentation of life”. The Bahraini artist uses colour to convey privacy and intimacy\, “expressive hues that meld harsh truths with illusions of what could be … Sharif’s approach ensures that his depiction of these taboos is conveyed through humble depictions that preserve a certain Oriental sensibility\, avoiding the shock value or censorship they might otherwise provoke. The scenes are all about ambiance\, a haze of what was\, what is\, and what could be”.
