Christie’s has displayed a long-standing commitment to the Middle East. We were the first to build a strong presence in the region when we opened our Dubai headquarters in 2005 and held our inaugural Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art auction in 2006.
Our biannual live and online sales taking place in either London or Dubai and our programme of groundbreaking loan and private selling exhibitions internationally offer exceptional works by Arab, Turkish and Iranian artists and highlight Christie’s continuous efforts to bring Middle Eastern Art at the forefront of the global stage.
As a global market leader for Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art, our sales achieve exceptional results with strong sell-through rates for our clients and record prices for artists. With our international reach, our auctions draw bidders from more than 15 countries, showing a growing global appreciation for the category.
Our dedicated team of specialists are based between Dubai and London. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
