The Art-Acquire Exhibition - Dubai 2007
Our lives are inevitably subject to ups and downs, success and failure, change and innovation, but there is always something to look forward to.
And I am convinced that the upcoming “Art-Acquire Exhibition” on Dutch art and culture in Dubai, will be such an event.
Art-Acquire has committed itself to hosting a high profile art sales exhibition, to be held at the splendid Madinat Jumeirah Hotel in Dubai. The event will take place as of the evening of the 2nd of may and lasts till the evening of the 5th of may 2007.
The exhibition will present paintings, etchings, silk-screen prints, bronze and glass sculptures, by Dutch artists made during the 19th, 20th and 21st century.
The painter Ernst van Leyden (1892-1969) his works are to be found in various museums around the world; The Tate Gallery, London, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Museo d’Arte Contemporaneo, Lisbon and many others.
The painter Elias Boonen (1860-1931) who’s work is to be found at the Dordrechts Museum.
Marius Richters, also born in the 18 hundreds, who was admired by many of his contemporaries.
The modern painter, Harjo Martinus with his exuberant use of color depicting cows in a meadow. Wim Zorn, a painter of modern landscapes executed in such a way that they draw you into the scene.
The modern Glass sculptors; Han de Kluijver, who gets his inspiration by visiting the North-pole and capturing colors in glass, thus creating true “Gems” and Tineke van Veen, who expresses the “Vulnarability” of being and glass.
The sculptors of horses, Anton ter Braak and Gabriel Sterk. Loek Prins, sculptor of birds of pray, all captured in bronze.
The etchings and silk-screen prints by Leentje Linders and Marcus van Hoorn, both completely different in their approach of the material and both creating fascinating works.
The photographs taken by Anita van der Kroll, who lived in and was inspired by Dubai 30 years ago. Her photographs take you back to the time just before the “Big Dubai Boom”.
The intriguing Digital Photo Creations made by Henriette Dingemans and Sjoerd Bras.
You will also enjoy the paintings made by: Emmy Eerdmans, Joop Kropff, Floris Jespers, Karin van Leyden, Theo van der Horst, Cor Noltee.
All artists who have gained the recognition from art collectors in and outside of the Netherlands.

Inside of the main exhibition, a very special and unique exhibit will take place.
“The Seven Wonders of the World”, formally owned by Fortnum & Mason’s of London, will be on view.
During the 16th century a Dutchman, Maarten van Heemskerck, made sketches and engravings of “The Seven Wonders of the World “. On the basis of these sketches professor Chris Blackwell created models of these wonders. He then brought together a dozen English artists (each a specialist in his own discipline) and subsequently took a period of one and a half years to create the “Seven Wonders of the World”. An amazing and beautiful creation.
