In this issue Canvas is proud to give its readers an exclusive preview of the first Christie’s auction to ever take place in the Middle East, in Dubai. Equally grand, we discover the wealth of the hidden treasures befitting one of the leading protagonists of the Egyptian art scene, Farouk Hosny, artist and Minsiter of Culture for the Arab Republic of Egypt. Canvas also delves into the eclectic collection of jewellery, artefacts and artworks at the Robert Mouawad Private Museum and Naila Kettaneh’s gallery. This issue’s photographer Reza has captured the spirit of mankind, its tradition, its injustice and its inventions and we also pay tribute to the late Abdellatif Samudi, in the words of his close friend, Talal Moualla.
