A group of 30 famous 20th century Egyptian artists' work will be offered at Christie's in Dubai.
The represented aritsts' include Mahmoud Said, Raghed Ayad, Adam Henein, Hamed Nada, and more. Dr. Mohamed Said Farsi holds the most recognized comprehensive collection of Modern Egyptian Art to be ever owned by an individual. 25 pieces from his collection were sold for a total of $8.7 million last year!
This year, he will include an additional 30 pieces, we wonder how much he'll sell it for!?
$8.7 million?! That's an impressive collection and an even more impressive sale...seems like that money could be used for charity, no? Just our two cents.
Either way, we're proud to see that our artists and our art collectors are recognized worldwide.
