Alfred Basbous “Femme Assise” at Art Dubai 2016

Alfred Basbous Foundation and ARTSPACE-Dubai-DIFC are pleased to announce their participation in the 2016 edition of Art Dubai Modern where one of the Lebanese master’s collection called “Femme Assise” will be showcased from 16th to 19th March at Madinat Jumeirah.    Now on its third year, Art Dubai Modern is the only curated programme of its kind in the world featuring works by masters from the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. The works presented have rarely been seen before, with drawings, paintings and sculpture that are from the 1970s – 1980s with an emphasis on minimal abstraction.
 
The works of Alfred Basbous glorify women in all stages of life: single or coupled, from birth to motherhood. He sculpted voluptuous and feminine forms in stone, bronze and marble. In a pure and modern style, his sculptures capture the grace of the female figure.
