Abstraction and Calligraphy — Towards a Universal Language, Louvre Abu Dhabi’s first international exhibition of 2021 (Feb. 17 – June 12), invites visitors to explore the dawn of modern abstraction through sign and symbol, traces its origins to Asian and Arabic calligraphy and charts sites of mutual inspiration and art and cultural exchange around the world.
Curated by Didier Ottinger, assisted by Marie Sarré and sponsored by Montblanc, a maison whose innovative craftsmanship continues to influence the culture of writing, the exhibition marks a second major collaboration between the Centre Pompidou and Louvre Abu Dhabi.
