The 2015 edition of the Abraaj Group Art Prize — part of Art Dubai — will be more competitive, as only one artist will be eligible to win the prize money and a two-year postgraduate scholarship with the Royal College of Art in London.
“The group prize winner will also have a curator to assemble a body of their works, to show their journey as an artist and how it has evolved,” said Frederic Sicre, managing director at Abraaj Group, who said more details will be revealed in the next few months.
The winners of the this year’s Abraaj Group Art Prize are Abas Akhavan and Kamrooz Aram from Iran; Basim Magdy from Egypt; Bouchra Khalili from Morocco; and Anup Mathew Thomas from India. All artists will have their works showcased at the exhibition Bagh O Bahar: Garden and Spring, at Art Dubai from March 19-22.
More than 500 artists from over 80 galleries across 35 countries will be participating at the eighth edition of Art Dubai, which will take place at Madinat Jumeirah on March 19-22.
