Abu Dhabi’s The National takes a look at the conversation going on at Art Dubai where the fair is raising questions about the health of local artists:

Organisers are expecting Art Dubai, held over six days and featuring 82 galleries from 32 countries, to surpass last year’s attendance of 18,000 people over four days.

Although it remains to be seen whether the growing number of institutions involved in the contemporary art scene will filter down to local artists in the region, helping them display and sell their work, the outlook seemed bright during the forum’s panel discussions yesterday.
