Contemporary paintings dumped at the car park at Katara

How very sad !
When an artist participates in an exhibition organized by a reputable institute like Qatar Fine Art Association one would think that his artwork is at the best place .However this was not the case . A local artist accidentally found his artwork with other contemporary pieces thrown away into the underground car park of Katara . The paintings were damaged and cut out from the frames . Later it turned out that the above mentioned institute refused to return the paintings after the exhibition saying " they are being stored securely" . It was even more vexing that a painting was sold without the artist's approval .

Some claims that all these sound like criminal acts and I really agree . It seems that someone tried to sell those paintings then with the hope of getting money from the frames tried to sell the frames alone . The person might have escaped and abroad .

I always say that reputable workforce should be appreciated and kept in the country ....
