From Dallas to Dubai, Sydney to Shanghai, the global art market continues to swell its ranks. It can be a Sisyphean chore to keep track of this international scene — which is why Modern Painters has done some of the legwork for you, charting the most exciting and noteworthy galleries around the world. In its August issue, the magazine created a helpful guide that presents a snapshot of the ever-growing, globalized hunger for art. The issue also includes in-depth conversations with a dozen dealers, who talk about their passions, early days, and future ambitions. In the upcoming days, ARTINFO will publish Modern Painters’ guide to the 500 Best Galleries Worldwide. Here, we present the magazine’s selection of the top galleries in the Middle East.
