This week sees Christie’s latest sale of Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish art in Dubai, held on Tuesday and Wednesday. The market for Iranian artists has been hit by trade sanctions against the country and the plunging rial, which has fallen by some 60 per cent in the past year. Its Part I sale is the smallest ever, with just 29 lots expecting up to $3.5m, while the high estimate for Part II falls just short of $2m. “Inevitably, the supply diminishes with time, as some of the artists have passed away,” says a Christie’s spokesperson, noting that the firm is “very happy” with the level of the sale. Top lot is a glittery fairytale painting by the Iranian Farhad Moshiri, “Secret Garden” (2009), estimated at $300,000-$500,000.
不久前,佳士得刚在迪拜举办了阿拉伯、伊朗以及土耳其现当代艺术拍卖会(Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art Sale )。由于联合国贸易禁运以及该国货币里亚尔的大幅贬值(去年一年,里亚尔的币值大约贬了60%),伊朗艺术家的市场行情大受影响。拍卖会首场拍卖成交额成为史上最低,只有29件拍卖品的成交价有望达到350万美元,而乐观估计第二场拍卖会成交额也不会超过200万美元。“由于有些艺术家已经作古,拍品供应必然是与日俱减,”佳士得某发言人如是说,并指出公司对拍品的价位“相当满意”。最高成交价的拍品是伊朗画家法尔哈德•莫欣(Farhad Moshiri)创作于2009年的作品——“秘密花园”(Secret Garden),这是一幅反映童话故事的艳丽画作,预估价为30万-50万美元之间。
