Tolkien's "The Hobbit" sold for 43,000 pounds ($57,000) at auction on Wednesday, after it was found during a house clearance in southwest by a private collector in the United Kingdom, the book is one of 1,500 original copies of the British author's seminal fantasy novel that were published in those, only "a few hundred are believed to still remain", according to the auction house Auctioneum, which discovered the book on an bookcase at a home in from around the world drove the price up by more than four times what the auction house expected for the manuscript."It's a wonderful result, for a very special book," said Auctioneum rare books specialist Caitlin Riley."The surviving books from the initial print run are now considered some of the most sought-after books in modern literature," Auctioneum said in a unearthed the book during a routine house clearance after its owner passed away."Nobody knew it was there," Riley said.

Art of summer: Artbooth Gallery show captures spirit of season
Artbooth Gallery, a leading art space in the national capital, is hosting Summered, a group exhibition that brings together a constellation of artists whose expressive works span continents and sensibilities (July 21 – Sept. 7). The public can immerse themselves in a universe where summer turns into an inner season, a state of mind or a breath of inspiration that ties together nature, memory, and imagination. Soraya Abu Naba'a, Gilbert Halaby, Asaad Arabi, James Matthews, Habuba Farah, Noor Bahjat, Bruno Sfeir, Oussama Diab, Layal Khawly and Elias Naman, are the artists who create a dialogue through works that blend contrast, symbolism, vibrant forms, and sculpted silences. From the dreamlike and meticulous florals of Soraya Abu Naba'a to the introspective paintings of Gilbert Halaby, Summered reveals, through each work, a fragment of a personal world that opens itself to collective reflection. Asaad Arabi's composition Gate of dream. James Matthews, a visual artist and educator based in Abu Dhabi since 2007, brings to the exhibition a visual language shaped by international experience. Asaad Arabi offers lyrical cityscapes where colours dance like suspended musical notes, while Habuba Farah weaves geometric abstraction into a poetic modernity, rooted in sound and rhythm. Noor Bahjat presents surreal and densely narrative self-portraits, while Bruno Sfeir explores interior worlds with symbolic depth. Oussama Diab expresses displacement and memory with gentle irony and sharp cultural references. Layal Khawly, penultimately through architectural compositions, seeks unity between art and social engagement. Finally Elias Naman, a sculptor of silence, reveals raw, pure, and timeless emotion through hand-carved stone. Elias Naman's work titled Fragment of Humanity I. Soraya was born to a Palestinian father and a mother of Lebanese descent. She spent her childhood life in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Travelling has had a huge impact on her visual language and meeting people from different countries, ignited an interest in their life stories. Gilbert Halaby (b. 1979) is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist and renowned designer who was born in a village in Mount Lebanon. He is known for producing a wide variety of art and written work that spans paintings, sculptures, poems and letters. Born in Damascus (1941), Asaad Arabi, in different series throughout his lengthy career, has skilfully used composition and colour in harmony, creating unity between the different aspects of his work. In the defined colour blocks of his abstract works, viewers gradually discern figures, architectural forms and patterns, while in his figurative works, bodies are painted in hues that merge with their environments. James Matthews is a British artist known for various styles, including Impressionist and Modern landscapes and portrait sculpture. He also works with woodblock and mixed media prints, often incorporating themes of culture, environment and sustainability related to the UAE, particularly using date palm tree paper. Ousamma Diab's Man and shadow. Over the course of a lifelong creative journey, Habuba Farah (b. 1931) has established a distinctive artistic identity through dynamic abstract compositions that explore colour, geometry, and movement. Her style, is often described as 'Lyrical Geometric Abstraction'. 'I identify as a woman and artist of Arab descent,' she once said, reflecting on how her artistic practice embodies both her Brazilian upbringing and Arab heritage. She was born into a family of Lebanese immigrants who settled in Brazil in the early 20th century. Noor Bahjat is a surrealist self-portrait artist working in an expressionistic style with a primarily figurative subject matter. After a visit to the Philippines, her palette and visual narrative drastically changed, moving away from dark and static compositions towards illuminated backgrounds, incorporating elements of nature and water in her portraits. Bruno Sfeir is an Uruguayan-Lebanese painter, who, in his extensive career, has created works across various mediums, exploring a wide range of themes. His art has travelled around the globe; each piece reflects a deep internal process, rooted in meditation. Vertigo Skyline by Noor Bahjat. Due to his background as a stateless Palestinian, Oussama Diab has always been a refugee, including in his native country, Syria. His work reflects the questions relating to humanity and freedom, justice and injustice, violence and struggle, human suffering and loss. But despite having experienced war and loss first-hand, he has always been moved by compassion and by hope too – another feature he wants to express in his work. He is not primarily concerned with political issues, but with the principles of humanity. Layal Khawly is a Lebanese visual artist and painter. Khawly decided to use her art for the common good, allowing those who cannot express themselves to be represented through her, thus allowing nobody to truly ever feel alone. Without preparatory sketches or machinery, Elias Naman sculpts by hand, forging an unfiltered dialogue between artist and stone. His work explores themes of identity, spirituality and the human condition, working to capture fleeting emotions in enduring materials. Work titled Still life by Soraya Abu Naba'a. Summered is more than an ode to the blazing light of the season. It is a journey through the inner landscapes of being, an invitation to contemplate the world differently, in a time suspended between warmth, reflection, and creation. Together, the artists form an orchestra, each voice distinct, harmonised in shared pursuit: to render visible the unseen layers of the self, of memory, and of belonging. The works transcend aesthetics: they are testaments, heirlooms, and quiet revolutions, each piece a vessel of history, transformation, and vision. Summered is a moment of pause within movement, a season captured not in Fahrenheit, but in feeling. The works are the echoes of a summer lived in full colour, depth, and purpose.

How This Labubu Sold for a Record-Breaking Price of AED38,000 on eBay
A rare gray‑brown Labubu toy, adorned in Vans streetwear—complete with sneakers, sweatshirt, and a blue‑orange hat labelled 'The Monsters'—recently sold on eBay for an astounding AED 38,035 (approximately $10,500), making it the most expensive Labubu ever sold. Originally priced at just $85 (around AED 312), the doll's resale fetched 125 times its retail value. It was part of a 2023 Pop Mart × Vans collaboration, released in a blind box, making it one of the ultra‑rare editions highly sought after by collectors. Labubu figures, designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung and sold by Pop Mart, have exploded in popularity among collectors. Sold in blind boxes with randomized figures, these toys are known for featuring rare 'secret' editions with odds as slim as 1 in 72 or 1 in 144, making certain collectibles extremely rare and valuable. The appeal of Labubu lies in its stylized, whimsically eerie design—often described as 'cute‑ugly'—and Pop Mart's marketing model that creates scarcity and hype. Releases typically sell out within minutes, with fans lining up in stores or battling bots online to secure a blind box. Experts say some early or rare editions like this Vans‑clad Labubu are likely to hold or grow in value over time. Lori Verderame, collectibles appraiser, notes that these figures may remain valuable long-term due to their unique charm and scarcity. Similarly, Alex Fung of Goldin Auctions suggests early Pop Mart releases are the ones most likely to retain collectible value. This eBay sale has spotlighted the explosive collector culture surrounding Labubu. From an $85 impulse buy to an eye‑watering resale price, it underscores how limited editions and emotional fandom can transform a simple toy into a high‑stakes collectable—turning tiny figures into serious investments for some and playful treasures for many.
