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.

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...
