The LinkedIn page of the Artist Art Noor has announced the publication of the book and has been sending it as gifts to inner circles of friends.
When asked about the venue of his next exhibition, Art Noor said "Since, I want to reach the maximum people both with the book and the art which I do, I would prefer the venue to be a large frequently visited destination, preferably in Abu Dhabi. It is the emerging art capital of the Middle East and is building the Guggenheim Museum which will be the art attraction for the whole world"
In his radio Interview with Andrew Hosie at Abu Dhabi Classic FM Chanel, Art Noor announced a launch event for the book, which will be held towards the end of the year. He wants this event to take place on the 2nd December 2013 to coincide with U.A.E National day on the 2nd of December 2013.
Art Noor is the multidisciplinary artist who is widely traveled and has his work featured all over the world. He left his flourishing career in advertising about a decade ago and dedicated himself to become a full time artist and chose to live in U.A.E after his return from the USA because he wanted a hiatus from commercial life and spend time walking the sand dunes and introspecting.
The book is being ordered from various parts of the world including the USA and Europe. It has been widely acclaimed for its art and the feeling it generates - from artists, critics, and the art lovers in general. It will be available through the online stores in the month of December.
