Description
Summary:The Louvre Abu Dhabi's exciting exhibition programme explores the enduring dialogue between Eastern and Western artistic expression. 'Abstraction and Calligraphy' brings together a rich array of works, from 10th-century ceramics from Samarkand to paintings and drawings by Kandinsky, Matisse, MirĂ³, Twombly, and other modern masters.
