MATTERS OF MATERIAL SUPPORTING ART WITH A CONSCIENCE This autumn Christie’s will be presenting “Matters of Material”, an exhibition and online sale dedicated to promoting diversity in the international art market and promoting sustainability in the arts. The initiative will be part of the Middle Eastern Modern and Contemporary Art sale week taking place this November in London. Showcasing contemporary artists from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, the prevalent theme among the selected works will be on how materials can be used and recycled to create powerful statements and works of art, as well as how the selected geographies share universal and mutual creative affinities. This sale will be guest curated by Christie’s international consultant Dina Nasser-Khadivi and staged in collaboration with the Middle Eastern Art and European Post War & Contemporary Art department. The online sale will be running from Nov 11-24 (browsing starting on Nov 4) and the preview at Christie’s King Street will be open from Nov 14-23.
