ISSUE No. 24 | AUGUST 2016 HIGHLIGHTS
With summer now in full swing, we invite you to join us in taking a leisurely view at a selection of exhibitions currently on view across the globe during this holiday season.  Please let us know if you come across any noteworthy shows during your travels, which haven't already been featured.
 
This month also, in addition to our regular features, we have introduced a new section of the newsletter focusing on Art Fairs and for this first edition we take a look at the growth and success of Art Dubai.
 
Finally, whilst the world of art fortunately never stops, we will be taking a break from our artist's focus newsletter during August and therefore look forward to being in touch again at the beginning of September.
 
In the meantime, we wish you a very pleasant and relaxing break.

TIPS: ART ADVISORY & THE ART MARKET
Abstract or figurative?  Until recent years, it seemed that figurative painting had been consigned to the annals of history, a rather quaint form of representation annulled by the rise of lens-based art and focus instead on mark making.  Now however with this opinion reversed, we examine the reasons for it's renewed popularity and increasing importance in the market.
