The line-up for this year's Abu Dhabi Art, running from November 7 to 10 on Saadiyat Island, has been revealed and features the works of more than 400 artists from 50 of the world's leading modern, contemporary art and design galleries.

Now in its fourth edition, Abu Dhabi Art will be held once again at the Manarat Al Saadiyat exhibition centre as well as the UAE Pavilion, designed by the architect Lord Norman Foster.

Participating galleries include Ayyam Gallery, Gagosian Gallery, Galerie Brigitte Schenk, Galerie El Marsa, Hauser & Wirth, Lisson Gallery, Sfeir-Semler, The Third Line and Waterhouse & Dodd.

"You can see from the calibre of galleries we have again this year that it was a difficult decision to select a small number from the exceptional submissions, to fit with our boutique platform," said the event's executive director Rita Aoun-Abdo.

"Whether you intend to buy or experience museum-quality art in an iconic setting, discover new or more affordable works in our dedicated section for emerging artists, or be engaged intellectually in the public programme, there is something for everyone during these four days."

This public programme will include exhibitions, talks and design workshops as well as Art Zone, a dedicated space that welcomed more than 4,000 children last year.

The event is organised by the Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority and sponsored by Bvlgari.
