Also present will be works by the highest selling Gulf artist, Abdulnasser Gharem from Saudi Arabia, and Afshin Pirhashemi from Iran.
Their paintings, photographs, limited edition prints, video, sculptures and installations will be featured at a public viewing prior to the auction, taking place between January 14 to 20. This event gives collectors the flexibility to bid in person or to register for telephone and absentee bids online, offering bidders from abroad a winning chance.
