"The US's latest foreign policy adventure, pursued in partnership with Israel, primarily through a relentless bombing campaign, triggered retaliatory Iranian drone and missile strikes across the Gulf and the enforced closure of the Strait of Hormuz."
"Iran's bombardment of the Gulf states, which host American military bases, has damaged the art world's vision of Qatar, Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the next big growth market for international dealers and auction houses."
"The inaugural, strangely unreal Art Basel Qatar fair managed to take place three weeks before the Iranian drone and missile strikes, but the 20th edition of Art Dubai, scheduled for April, has been postponed until May."
The US's recent military actions against Iran, in collaboration with Israel, have led to significant economic turmoil and instability in the Gulf region. Retaliatory strikes from Iran have disrupted the art market, particularly affecting events like Art Dubai and Frieze Abu Dhabi. The ongoing conflict has raised questions about US leadership and the future of international art fairs in the region. Despite these challenges, the Gulf's art community is attempting to maintain a sense of normalcy amid the chaos.
