Newest resident of Dubai’s arts hub, Alserkal Avenue

The latest addition to Dubai’s thriving arts hub of Alserkal Avenue is La Galerie Nationale.  Specialising in original design art created by top designers representing the 20th century, the French gallery will also have a presence at Design Day Dubai (March 18-20).

With 20 years of experience in France and Europe, the gallery has decided to open in a representative gallery in Dubai at Alserkal Avenue.

The 20thcentury, one of the most prolific periods in design, witnessed extraordinary designers mastering new material while still creating useful and usable pieces. A few of these original items still exist. La Galerie Nationale promotes these outstanding designers and offers these objects to collectors. Some designers the gallery represents include Jean Royère, Raymond Loewy, Willy Rizzo, Pierre Guariche, Marco Zanuso, Patrick Gingembre, Fabio Lucci, Alexandre Noll, Mathieu Mategot, Geoffrey Harcourt, Louis Durot, Pierre Cardin, Line Vautrin, Max Ingrand, Serge Mouille, Georges Jouve, Jacques Biny, Warren Platner, Jo Colombo, Charlotte Perriand, Le Corbusier, Fontana Arte, Gio Ponti, Pierre Paulin, Jean Prouvé, Eugene Subes and Jean-Pierre Laporte.

Alserkal Avenue, located in Dubai’s warehouse district of Al Quoz, was founded by Abdelmonem Bin Eisa Alserkal to encourage and invite galleries and creatives alike to be a part of the first organically grown art hub in Dubai.

Some of the galleries located on the venue include: Salsali Private Museum, Ayyam Gallery, Carbon12, Etemad Gallery, Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde, Green Art Gallery, James Clar, Lawrie Shabibi, Mojo, and Gulf Photo Plus. The cluster enables people to hop from one to the other and explore the artwork of different artists from across the globe within one block.
