To mark the final day of Art Dubai, The Art Blog conducted a mini questionnaire with a selection of galleries. Here is Mohammed Hafiz from Athr Gallery, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
- How did you find the fair?
Very good. We saw a lot of museum groups and spoke to many international collectors, some of whom we saw for the first time. Our accessible nicely priced works were sold to a number of young collectors and first time buyers
- What was the best bit?
I particularly liked Experimenter Gallery; they had one of the most interesting booths in the fair and it was a really great show.
- What was the worst bit?
I don’t really have anything negative to say, I guess I wished we had brought more art works with us because sales have been so strong.
- Will you be coming back?
Without question. Actually our first ever show was at Art Dubai because we didn’t have a space so in a way, we were born here and we will continue to come for as long as it exists
