Longing for Eternity

This book, edited and curated by Mary Angela Schroth, tells the story of the acquisitions in the private collection of Hussain Ali Harba, which started out with a 1970s painting by Fa'iq Hassan, one of the protagonists of Iraqi modern art, through to experimental contemporary artists such as Adel Abidin. Born in Babylon (Iraq) in 1961 and living in Turin, Italy since 1979, Harba received his first artwork from his father at the age of 15, and through the years has become one of the most impassioned Iraqi collectors in the world. Together with his family, he is building a private museum in Babylon that will one day permanently house this major collection. The book bears witness to Harba's work of dedication and conservation of the artistic patrimony of his native country.00.
