Contempory Art from the Middle East
18 February 2012
Market interest in Contempory Art from a range of Middle Eastern countries appears to have been rapidly expanding over the past few years, and has been popular in both the U.S. and in Europe. Christies Auction in Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian, and Turkish art sales in Dubai which was held in October, earned approx. $7.3 million and achieved 43 new auction records, of which 22 were for artist’s under 35 years of age.
