Global Art Advisory Beaumont Nathan opens office in Abu Dhabi for ME zone

Global Art Advisory Beaumont Nathan has opened office in Abu Dhabi to serve the Middle East Region. The Advisory has appointed Lateefa bin Hamoodah as Regional Advisor, Middle East, extending its international reach with Kara Popowich as Director, Global Client Strategy. The formal launch of New Family Advisory Service for regional and international collectors has also been initiated; while the two significant appointments are expected to strengthen Beaumont Nathan's services, the new service is anticipated to provide long-term, trusted, transparent support to families. During generational wealth transfer and a shift in market values and broader taste, Beaumont Nathan's new Family Services will bring independent perspectives to those who have significant art collections as they approach intergenerational planning and long-term collection strategies.

Lateefa bin Hamoodah, based in Abu Dhabi, is a cultural strategist and arts patron.

She has been working in the UAE art world for nearly a decade. A patron of the Louvre Abu Dhabi, she serves on the Advisory Board for the Art History and Archaeology Department at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi. “As art collecting, institutional development and audience engagement grows to new levels in the region, the appointment of Lateefa will further facilitate world-leading advice to private collectors, families and institutions regarding building world-class collections,” said Stephanie Armstrong, Managing Partner. “The Gulf art scene is coming into a new phase of fruition and there is a lot of excitement and opportunity. And as the commercial and institutional landscape has matured, we see more individuals now stepping forward and engaging,” said Lateefa bin Hamoodah.
