m f husain museum qatar 2723322

Qatar has unveiled a new museum dedicated entirely to the late Indian Modernist artist M.F. Husain, titled Lawh Wa Qalam: M.F. Husain Museum. Located in Doha's Education City, the museum houses over 150 artworks spanning from the 1950s to his death in 2011, including paintings, poetry, photography, tapestries, sculptures, and installations. The museum, opened on November 28 by the Qatar Foundation chaired by Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, fulfills a long-held dream of the artist, who was granted Qatari citizenship in 2010 after self-imposed exile from India. The building was designed by architect Martand Khosla based on a sketch Husain himself created for his envisioned museum.

Paphos gallery owner received threats over Gavriel exhibition, painter says

An art exhibition by painter George Gavriel was removed from the Blue Iris Gallery in Paphos after the gallery’s owner received death threats. The threats began following a social media post by a candidate for the far-right ELAM party, escalating through Saturday. Gavriel withdrew the works, which often address political and religious themes, to protect the owner, who chose not to file a formal complaint. Three young people briefly entered the gallery’s basement and removed some pieces, which were later restored.
