Ahmed Mater Mid-Career Retrospective at Christie's London

From July 17 to August 22, 2025, Christie's will present 'Ahmed Mater: Chronicles,' a mid-career retrospective showcasing the works of Saudi artist Ahmed Mater at its London location. Curated by Dr. Ridha Moumni, the exhibition will display over 100 pieces, including 'Magnetism Book,' 'Boundary,' and the 'Illumination' series. A highlight of the exhibition is 'Ashab Al-Lal,' a land art installation set for Wadi AlFann, which will debut in 2025. Additional significant artworks include 'Lightning Land' and 'Evolution of Man.' The exhibition aims to illustrate the evolving social and cultural landscape of Saudi Arabia, with pieces borrowed from various institutions. Dr. Moumni referred to it as an 'odyssey into Mater's visionary practice,' while Mater noted the significance of returning to London since his 2005 exhibition at the British Museum.
