Sharjah is Dubai’s neighboring emirate. We ventured there because it is the “cultural capital” of the United Arab Emirates.
We went to a unique museum funded by the very rich sheik of Sharjah. The permanent collection has Warhols and a lot of other great modern art. The exhibition was of Lore Bert and had just opened. She was there, and we interrupted her meeting with a guy in a headdress. Spoke to her, got her autograph, will save it for 50 years, and then sell it. See I knew this vacation would pay for itself! (If you like that one, you should hear my other rationalizations for the thousands we are spending.)
Anyways, now on to the art… There was practically no one there (unusual thing #1), in each room there was often only one work exhibited (unusual thing #2), and no title/nameplate (unusual thing #3). I liked #1 & #2, as you really got to concentrate on the works. Some pics with, of course, our little flourishes added are posted.
