This November Christie’s presents two live auctions at our headquarters in London, surveying the rich cultural landscape and diverse creative output of the region. Marhala: Highlights from the Dalloul Collection is a dedicated single-owner auction comprising 48 exceptional masterpieces, which represents an immersive journey through modern and contemporary Arab art history. Assembled by the late visionary collector Dr Ramzi Dalloul and his wife Saeda El Husseini and advanced by their son Dr Basel Dalloul, the Dalloul Art Collection, Beirut, Lebanon is unparalleled in its breath and depth, and reflects an extraordinary level of connoisseurship. Following on the same afternoon will be our biannual auction of Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art. Together, this season’s offering reflects the region’s deep-rooted modern art heritage and flourishing contemporary art scene.
