ORIENTALISTS
With its rich history spanning fifty years, Whitford Fine Art has become a pillar in the art world. Known for its exceptional valuation services, curatorial advice, and assistance with collection building, Whitford has long been a trusted partner for collectors, curators, and institutions worldwide.
In the forthcoming series of newsletters Adrian Mibus, founder of Whitford Fine Art has picked highlights of each specialty he has dealt in, commencing with Orientalism which inspired his first steps as a dealer in the 1970s and which held his gaze until the late 1980s.
'Life is a balance between holding on and letting go' – Rumi, Sufi Poet from East and West, fittingly illustrates Adrian's legacy commencing with
ORIENTALISM.
