# JR & Abu Dhabi Art Fair

Between the 19th and 22nd November, there was an international art show in the United Arab Emirates, called the “Abu Dhabi Art Fair”. Around 50 galleries from the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the United States presented artworks.

One of the exhibiting artists was famous French street artist and [photographer](/top-urban-art-photographers/) **JR**! He created a large scale wheatpaste installation in the center of the UAE’s capital. When I saw the exclusive photos the first time, I was really shocked, because of their great atmosphere.

JR made a great visual impact with his art installation - Take a look! For more info about the “Abu Dhabi Art Fair”, visit [abudhabiartfair.ae](http://www.abudhabiartfair.ae/en/default.aspx).
