Building a collection of Modern Arab art

Private collector · Gulf · [годы] +

A collection begun with decorative purchases was rebuilt around Modern Arab painting. We agreed the scope first, audited what was already there, and then acquired through galleries, at auction and directly from estates.

Every work was researched and condition-checked before purchase. The collection is now catalogued, insured and lending to exhibitions.
