Brief info
The Gratus Collection by Mary & Bishoy Azmy brings together dozens of pieces of Egyptian art from different eras encompassing the pioneers of the modern era, the different Egyptian modern art movements, and the living giants of the contemporary era as well as emerging talents supported and encouraged by the Gratus Foundation.
This one-of-a-kind collection has been developed with the help of Art D’Égypte and hopes to provide a holistic representation of Egyptian art of all eras and disciplines, tracing the varying layers and influences of Egyptian art over its rich and diverse history, showcasing the wide range of local art production, and telling the story of Egypt using art as the main medium.
It will hopefully become an informative and invaluable resource for modern and contemporary Egyptian art research and play a small role in highlighting global awareness and appreciation of Egyptian modern and contemporary art.
