The Definitive Edition focuses on the enduring influence of Expo 2020 Dubai, not only as a magnificent fair, but also within the context of the legendary history of Expo. This was the first Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region and every effort was taken to achieve greatness. Star photography, artworks and special features abound in this title. The grand scale of this book matches the immensity and importance of Expo 2020 Dubai.
From 1 October to 31 March 2022, Expo 2020 Dubai brought together more than 200 participants and many millions of people from around the world with a shared purpose towards building a cleaner, safer, healthier future. The first World Expo in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia region, and the largest event ever held in the Arab world, for 182 days, Expo 2020 Dubai was a hive of activity, from performances and parades, immersive experiences, insightful talks, food, art, music, sport and architecture. With 192 country pavilions, three thematic pavilions—Opportunity, Mobility and Sustainability—and numerous awe-inspiring feats of architecture and craftsmanship at every turn, Expo 2020 Dubai offered limitless opportunities to learn, reflect, connect and collaborate for a better world.
To mark this, Assouline collaborated with Expo 2020 Dubai on seven unique volumes dedicated to the event. Each book features original images, texts, exclusive interviews and insights into the architecture, inspiration and historical significance on display at Expo 2020 Dubai. Published and edited exclusively by Assouline and Expo 2020 Dubai, each of these seven editions will be valued by collectors around the globe for decades to come.
