Christie’s Dubai will hold two sales featuring works by twentieth and twenty-first century Middle Eastern artists this March.
Celebrating the tenth anniversary of Christie’s Dubai, Ten will take place on 16 March, and features Safwan Dahoul’s 'Untitled' (Woman Standing in the Rain) (2003).
Modern & Contemporary Art will take place later that evening. Among the sale’s highlights are two rare, early works by Samia Halaby that date back to the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Sadik Kwaish Alfraji’s Once I Could Fly (2012); a painting from Tammam Azzam’s recent Storeys series; Silsila (Link) (2013), a unique, diasec photographic print from Sama Alshaibi’s eponymous series; Rashed Al Shashai’s installation Beep Beep (2015); and two untitled paintings (2005, 2015) by Afshin Pirhashemi are also included among the auction’s robust lineup.
