The Apollo 40 Under 40 Middle East was launched on 4 September with a party at the Serpentine Pavilion in London – hosted in collaboration with Deutsche Bank Wealth Management, Apollo’s global partner for Apollo 40 Under 40 publications and events.

The 2019 edition of the Apollo 40 Under 40, the first to focus on the Middle East, features 40 people below the age of 40 who are based in the region, or whose work has a strong bearing on its artistic life, and who are opening up new cultural prospects through their creativity, innovation and leadership. It is the sixth instalment of a project that was launched in 2014 to celebrate the young leaders and future stars of the art world.
