A new publication throws light on a collection of more than 400 sculptures in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, considered one of the most important collections of 20th-century public art.
Almost all of the works—by artists such as Henry Moore, Joan Miró, Victor Vasarely and Jean Arp—were installed along several miles of the Jeddah Corniche coastal area during the 1970s, at the behest of the city’s charismatic mayor, Mohammed Said Farsi.
