I had no idea what would be the experience in working with Art Dubai and Abraaj Capital Art Prize. The week passed rapidly as I never ever anticipated. I want to go back in time and spend the same week again and once again and once again. Since my very first intriguing interview with Laura Egerton (Manager of Abraaj Capital Art Prize) I knew this experience will be amazing.
I couldn't understand what I was missing out on, however I often felt depressed. And then I found a friend. It was one of the few books that we brought with us. A small album of art reproductions from Hermitage collection. I keep in mind how I would sit for hours browsing its pages. I was taking a look at ancient Russian icons and paintings by Durer, at Leonardo and Raphael, at Rembrandt, Titian, Velazquez and Vermeer. In the end of the book, there were impressionists, Picasso, and Matisse.
The lecture continued. Now we were both fully alert, anxiously waiting to hear what the next cooking offering would be. On the screen, I saw the final picture of a young woman who was deal with down on a chaise lounge, a little plump and completely naked. The girl in the painting was recognized as Mademoiselle O'Murphy by Francois Boucher. The professor explained her as a 'delicious tart.' I took a look at Jean. She was currently looking at me with large eyes. We both rolled our eyes and spent the remainder of the class attempting to keep a straight face and hide our chuckles.

If there is one word that I could use to explain teacher Loescher (and there are many) I would say that he was inspiring! He had the incredible ability to take his vast knowledge and delivery it to you in such a way that it all made sense. Further, professor Loescher had a gift for keep his students spell-bound. He was always up beat and jovial, it prevailed for him to make witty side commentaries such at turning the Pantheon into a disco when mentor on that topic, or his popular "more is more" in his Baroque art history classes.
It was at this time that an outsider found out the art and began opening it up to the rest of the world.

Finally, can a gallery conserve your life? Most likely not. Can they produce connections that may assist you find out and grow? Yes, they can. Do galleries still make stars out of unknown artists? Yeah, it takes place sometimes. It occurred to me a number of times, but I had programs for numerous artists. I ran three galleries over a 12 year period in among the largest cities on the planet. Lots of headaches, heartaches and money pains later on I am bankrupt, but I am filled with the experiences that would measure up to any movie star's life. It was cool. It was fascinating and it was for an excellent cause, artist's lives.
