Ayyam Auctions will hold its eighth public sale, this year’s first installment of the Young Collectors Auction. Featuring 65 lots that represent established and emerging Arab and Iranian artists, this forthcoming event will be organized in a casual setting that is geared towards budding art aficionados. Since 2009, the biannual Young Collectors Auction has proven to be a great success among new collectors, attracting buyers from across the Middle East. Seasoned patrons have also been drawn to its unique format, which offers some of the biggest names in regional art at affordable prices. With estimates that range from $750 to $8,000 USD, this unparalleled format seeks to open the art market to prospective connoisseurs by making the auction model more accessible and less formal.
