The artist Richard Hamilton designed the cover for The Beatles' White Album

The Beatles are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their landmark album known as The White Album this month, so we spoke to Andrew Wilson at Tate Britain about the cover, designed by Richard Hamilton, and the author Harriet Vyner about Robert Fraser, the dealer who linked the worlds of pop and art. We also visited Dubai's latest contemporary art space, the Jameel Arts Centre, with its director Antonia Carver, and spoke to one of the featured artists, Mounira al Solh, about the Qatar blockade.
