Marrakech Art Fair 2: A Success Story

What has become of art in the era of the Arab Spring? Diptyk #12 investigates in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Palestine, where art scenes are breaking free, bubbling with energy, or seeking out socially engaged artists. This October–November 2011 issue also features an in-depth look at the second Marrakech Art Fair—a resounding success—and publishes a portfolio by Moataz Nasr, a revolution with mystical undertones. On the market front, it explores whether contemporary Arab art is a sound investment.
