Overview

This April, Sotheby’s is honoured to host what will be among our most seminal  auctions for 20th Century Art/Middle East during our Orientalist and Middle Eastern Art week. The sale will feature some of the rarest and most sought-after artists from the modern era up to the contemporary period. Approaching the anniversary of the relaunch of our Arab, Iranian and Turkish art sales in London, we are delighted to present a cohort of masterworks spanning an array of countries and regions rarely seen. Highlights from the sale include record breaking artists and exceptional works by Bahman Mohasses (world record), Charles Hossein Zenderoudi, Mahmoud Said, Mayo (world record), Farid Belkahia,  Ahmed Mater, Ramses Younan.
