Currently based in Dubai, Amanda Nedham sends us a top five works that caught her attention while visiting the fair this past November 16th-19th, 2016.
Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and organized by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), Abu Dhabi Art is a distinctive platform that celebrates the vitality of Abu Dhabi and the ever-changing contemporary art scene. Evolving and adapting to the ongoing development of the cultural landscape in the Saadiyat Cultural District and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Art embodies the cultural intrigue and creative ambition that defines the city: its desire to explore and understand the world around us.
