The Louvre Abu Dhabi, which has aroused great curiosity since plans
were first announced for the groundbreaking museum in 2007, will
unveil a selected part of its nascent collection in April 2013.
While the building that will house the museum collection, designed
by architect Jean Nouvel, is already well- known, this book -the
first to be dedicated to the museum's collection - allows the
reader to discover the universal spirit that permeates and
incarnates the birth of this new museum. The growing collection,
presented here for the first time, best captures and expresses the
essence and spirit of the museum itself. These 300 works,
reproduced in exceptionally high-quality photographs commissioned
for the publication, open a dialogue between the diverse world
cultures and their artistic expressions, from the most antiquated
to the ultra contemporary, ranging from archaeological treasures to
groundbreaking works of contemporary art. All artistic traditions
are present, from Ancient Egypt and Greco-Roman art to Islamic art
and grand Asian statuary, from works by Bellini and Murillo to
Manet or Mondrian, and masterpieces from the European Renaissance
or an Art Deco ensemble, to Indian miniatures or paintings by Yan
Pei-Ming. The works are analyzed in their cultural context,
highlighting their particularities, while simultaneously placing
them at the crossroads of the great cultures that comprise the
museum's collections.
