Art Dubai, established 6 years ago, included 75 dealers from 32 countries this year. According to the Financial Times, the show saw a “distinct jump in quality.” The dealers chose to focus on artists from the region, causing the fair to look different from other art fairs around the world.
Works for up to $500,000 were displayed at the show, such as a dome by Khosrow Hassanzadeh, though it uncertain whether they found buyers.
