Sotheby’s Dubai Joins Forces with the UAE’s Community of Leading Galleries for a Trailblazing Global Online Auction
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Presenting Prominent Modernists Alongside a New Generation of Artists to Collectors from Across the Globe
Portion of Sale Proceeds to Benefit the UN Refugee Agency’s COVID-19 Response
Open for Bidding from 18 – 25 June
Marking the inaugural online sale by an international auction
house in the Middle East, This Too Shall Pass brings together
sixty works from seven of Dubai’s leading art galleriesin a project
that is the first of its kind.
The sale will offer works by established artists already represented
in institutions worldwide alongside rising stars who are starting to make a name for themselves internationally. In line with the
UAE’s cultural mission, the selection will promote artists from
the Emirates and beyond to a new generation of art lovers around
the world. Viewed together, the works in the auction will open a
window into the boundless cultural landscape of the region, for
collectors at home and across the globe.
A collaborative initiative by the galleries of the renowned and
vibrant cultural district Alserkal Avenue, the partnership spans
Lawrie Shabibi, The Third Line, Gallery Isabelle van den
Eynde, Carbon 12, Green Art Gallery, Leila Heller Gallery and
1 x 1 Art Gallery.
The auction will be open for bidding from 18 – 25 June, with 10% of the galleries’ proceeds to be donated
to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)’s response to the pandemic’s impact on
refugee families and children across twenty countries in the MENA region. Working closely with
governments, partners and communities, UNHCR is focusing on protecting forcibly displaced populations
to ensure that health, water and hygiene systems are quickly adapted and scaled up, as well as providing
urgent cash-based assistance to those experiencing additional economic distress.
“Sotheby’s has long been at the forefront of the UAE’s cultural endeavors, introducing artists from across
the region to new global audiences. During these unprecedented times, working together with these
galleries feels like a natural partnership, as we use our extensive digital reach and online presence to
amplify their initiatives and create new collecting opportunities worldwide.”
Ashkan Baghestani, Sotheby’s
“This auction is testament to over a decade of dedication our community of galleries has put in to foster
the blossoming art scene in #dubai and beyond. Our spirit of collaboration has been made all the more
essential during the pandemic, and it is well and truly evident in this sale. While Covid-19 has touched
most of our lives, it has also heightened the suffering of those who are more vulnerable, and that is why a
portion of the proceeds will go towards providing essential support to those most in need.”
William Lawrie, co-founder of Lawrie Shabibi
So far in 2020, Sotheby’s has seen over a hundred online sales bring in excess of £175 million, more than
doubling the full year online sales total for 2019. In March, a sale of Modern and Contemporary Middle
Eastern art was converted from a live to an online auction, totalling $2.7 million, with 60% of lots exceeding their estimates. The auction was led by a radical work from Morocco’s modernist master Mohamed Melehi,
which soared to a record-breaking $487,339, nearly seven times its estimate, after 30 bids were placed on
the piece.
Sotheby's #dubai presents a vibrant, ever-evolving programme of year-round events, including selling and
non-selling exhibitions, events and talks, watches and jewellery valuations – reflecting the spectrum of
Sotheby's international sales and extensive client services. For more information please see
