DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - SEPTEMBER 25: (L-R) Julian Dawes (Sotheby’s Head of Impressionist & Modern Art, Americas), Mr. Saleh Al Akrabi (CEO of DIFC), Mrs Ghamzeh Alabbar (Art collector), His Excellency Sheikh Salem bin Khalid Al Qassimi (UAE Minister of Culture & Youth), Katia Nounou Boueiz (Head of Sotheby’s UAE) and Dr. Saeed Kharbash (CEO of Dubai Culture’s Arts & Literature Sector) attend the Sotheby’s Dubai unveiling of the ultimate masterpiece by Pablo Picasso, a monumental 1932 portrait of Marie-Thérèse Walter. Estimated in excess of $120 million, it is the highest value painting ever to be brought to the Middle East by an auction house. Femma à la Montre, one of only three Picasso portraits where the sitter wears a watch, is on view to the public at Sotheby’s Dubai in the DIFC on 25 and 26 September (its first exhibition outside of America in over 50 years). It will then be exhibited in Hong Kong and London before returning to New York for the auction of the Emily Fisher Landau collection in November.
