The second sale — like the first, titled “Origins” — will include works by Saudi artists, including the late Safeya Binzagr and Mohammed Al-Saleem, as well as international figures such as the Indian-born British sculptor, and Turner Prize winner, Anish Kapoor.
The works offered for sale will be on display to the public during a free, week-long exhibition. Details of the venue have yet to be confirmed.
“As the leader in this rapidly evolving market, Sotheby’s provides unparalleled exposure and is steadfastly committed to nurturing the region’s burgeoning art ecosystem,” said Ashkan Baghestani, the auction house’s head of sale and contemporary art specialist.
