BAM Auctions Inaugural Sale

The inaugural auction of what is described as “a secondary market platform focused on mid-range contemporary works from the UAE and the wider region” will consist of a “tightly curated” sale of 21 lots. The organisers, from the Bayt AlMamzar artists collective, say the intention is not to ape an existing model wholesale; “this is a modest and intentional first edition, designed to establish a secondary market structure that can mature steadily over time, built at a scale that allows us to remain attentive, responsive, and closely connected to the community it was shaped for”.

Phone and WhatsApp bidding are available, but require prior registration via contact@bam-auctions.com.
