“Art Dubai 2021 is different in so many ways. First, we have re-configured the format of the fair and relocated to DIFC, creating a purpose-built structure that would allow visitors to view artworks in three Gallery Halls and hence provide a secure and safe environment. We have also developed the app to help manage access to the fair and have re-designed the layout to ensure increased social distancing,” said Benedetta Ghione, Executive Director, Art Dubai.

A curated park featuring large-scale works by eight artists along the water paths surrounding the Gate Building, DIFC.

La Diadema (2015) was installed on a platform, offering the viewers two very different angles and interpretations.
