Speakers’ Forum
Over the past decade, the Arab world has emerged as a node in the global art network. Growing wealth in the oilrich states supported an extensive art infrastructure, including art fairs, art collections, museums and bienalles. At the same time, the less wealthy Arab regions in northern Africa and the Levant remain centres of artistic production and political and intellectual ferment. What is the present and likely future of art in the Arab world? Will changes there have an impact India? Two eminent speakers – the former director of the Sharjah Biennale and the curator for the
Guggenheim, Abu Dhabi discuss a world that the Indian art scene knows little about, but which is of vital interest.

He was a postal clerk in New York, she was a librarian. With their modest means, the couple managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history. Meet Herb and Dorothy Vogel, whose shared passion defied stereotypes and redefined what it means to be an art collector. In its India premier at the IAF 2012, Herb and Dorothy, the documentary by Megumi Sasaki on this legendary art collector couple, highlights why art collecting is not necessarily for only the privileged or moneyed, it is for the passionate art lover. Following the screening of the Vogel documentary, Maithili Parekh will be in conversation with two Indian collectors – Parmesh Shahani and Sonal Sood – both of whom have built substantial art collections with modest budgets.
