Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art

Iraqi Masterpieces from the Madhloom and Makiya Collections Important works by 'The Pioneers' of Iraqi Modernism - including Jewad Selim (1919-1961), Dia Azzawi (1939-), Kadhim Hayder (1932-1985), Faeq Hassan (1914-1992) and Shakir Hassan Al-Said (1925-2004) - from the collections of the renowned Iraqi architects, Mohammed Makiya (1914-2015) and Said Ali Madhloom (1921-2017), will be offered at Bonhams' Modern & Contemporary Middle Eastern Art sale on 2 June in London. The curated selection will bring together the central figures of the movement and will feature a number of important sculptures from the 'father of Iraqi Modernism', Jewad Selim - including Mother and Child (estimate: £60,000 - 100,000), Motherhood (estimate: £40,000 - 60,0000), and Standing Woman (estimate: £12,000 - 20,000). Nima Sagharchi, Bonhams Director of Islamic, Middle Eastern and South Asian Art, commented: "If the spirit of Modern Iraqi art could be captured in a single group of works, then this would be it. Stretching from the formative years of Iraqi modernism through to its later development, this sale is testament not only to the creative endeavours of the artists, but the foresight, passion, and care of two visionary collectors who ensured the survival of these treasures for posterity. The renowned architects, Mohammed Makiya and Said Ali Madhloom, were themselves central figures in Iraqi Modernism, who began collecting Iraqi modern art in 1950s' Baghdad. Their impressive, and historically important, collections, feature significant works by their friends and peers: Jewad Selim, Dia Azzawi, Kadhim Hayder, and Shakir Hassan Al-Said. The works in this auction are some of the most widely published, extensively exhibited and recognisable examples of Iraqi modernism."
