There is not long
left to visit the sculpture park that was unveiled in the Dubai
International Financial Centre (DIFC) back in February 2023.
The financial hub of Dubai was once again
transforming into an open-air art gallery as DIFC Sculpture Park returned for
the second edition this year, under the theme, ‘Tales Under the Gate’.
There are 70 pieces of art on show in DIFC this summer, from
Gate Building to Gate Avenue, by established
and independent artists representing diverse art movements from around the
world.

From the enduring surreal visions of Salvador Dali and the
monumental installations and sculptures of Anthony James to the cheeky pop
artworks of American artist Jeff Koons and featuring the works of local and
regional artists in a variety of mediums, DIFC announced at its launch that “this
year’s Sculpture Park will be the most exciting to date.”
The event is open to the public until 30 September, as per DIFC’s
website, and entry
is free of charge. Schools and university groups are welcome.
Looking for a last memento? Oblong Contemporary Art Gallery, a
leading international art gallery based in Dubai's Bluewaters Island, installed
the works of three of the gallery's artists - Antonio Signorini, Gianfranco
Meggiato and Michelangelo Bastiani – which are available to buy.
