That feverish leap into the fierceness of life
Saudi GazetteCurated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath, ‘That Feverish Leap Into The Fierceness Of Life’ comes from the 1951-founding manifesto of the Baghdad Group for Modern Art.“In that manifesto, the artists come together to express how important it is to look at art not just as something aesthetic, something to experience from a visual or sensorial level but to look at art as a vehicle for self-development.As a vehicle for betterment of society and life at large and if we do not embrace art with full passion we cannot take that feverish leap into the fierceness of life. We thought it is a great way to express the passion, dynamism, excitement through which different artists from various cities of the Arab world were coming together at different moments creating their own...

Last seen over half a century ago, museum-quality masterpiece by Bahman Mohasses
To be unveiled in Dubai on March 20One of the rarest works by the pioneering icon of Iranian modernism to ever appear at auction, Bahman Mohasses’ The Minotaur Scares the Good People is a highly-charged representation of the artist’s lifetime grappling with demons of alienation, loneliness and disenfranchisement. The dreamscape is populated with a plethora of half-human half-beast creatures, one of very few works by the artist to contain quite so many detailed figures. Hailing from the sought-after period of the 1960s, this irreverent avant-garde painting will make its auction debut as part of Sotheby’s 20th Century Art / Middle East sale on 24 April, offered with an estimate of £280,000-350,000. The work will be unveiled in our Sotheby’s Dubai galleries in the DIFC from Tuesday...

Saudi artist explores ‘Anatomy of winning’
Saudi GazetteAs part of the ongoing 21,39 Jeddah Arts exhibition ‘Refusing To Be Still’, Saudi artist Filwa Nazer exhibited a triptych based on the first official Saudi football team.‘Anatomy of winning’ is a three-panel work on paper, which combines a blurry collage of historical images relating to the celebrated Saudi football club Al- Ittihad, formed in 1927. Nazer chose Al-Ittihad, meaning The Union, to raise questions on its identity and whether the values that were at the heart of both Jeddah and the club since its inception are still relevant today. The club, which was originally established in Jeddah, was formed by a group of Saudi football enthusiasts who reportedly met at a radio broadcasting company and contemplated forming a club that would not just facilitate sports...
