DUBAI: New York’s Guggenheim Museum has acquired five works by Emirati artist Mohamed Ahmed Ibrahim, according to a statement by his representing gallery, Lawrie Shabibi, in Dubai.
Ibrahim, a prominent figure in UAE contemporary art, is known for his abstract and organic sculptures, many inspired by a deep connection to the local environment, particularly that of his hometown of Khor Fakkan, on the Gulf of Oman.
In 2022, Ibrahim presented his work at the National Pavilion UAE exhibition at the Venice Biennale. The exhibition celebrated his 40-year career, underscoring his status as a leading experimental artist from the UAE.
