Last Thursday, November 28-29, was JAMM’s 3rd annual auction at the Contemporary Art Platform in Kuwait. The auction featured over 60 works of art by emerging and established Arab, Iranian and international artists. The Kuwaiti artists represented at the auction included Shurooq Amin, Amira Behbehani, Ghadah Kandari, Fadel Al Abbar, Ebrahim Habib, Abed Al Kadari and Reda Salem. It was exclusively sponsored by TAG Heuer, one of the most desired brands in the luxury watch industry.
The elegant affair was attended by the who’s who of the international art scene. It started with a preview on the 28th of November that showcased the artworks featured in the auction. The set up of the gallery allowed the crowd to admire the beautiful art pieces in a calm, peaceful setting. The auction, on November 29, was conducted by Alexander Gilkes, the former global marketing director and auctioneer for Phillips de Pury and co-founder of Paddle8. As expected, the auction was a huge success totalling over $570,000 in sales. The highest selling lot was Farideh Lashai’s El Amal that sold for $72,000, it was followed by Reza Derakshani’s Garden Party at $70,000.
Sheikha Lulu M Al-Sabah, founder of JAMM commented after the sale: “I was really happy with the turnout this year. There was a lot of enthusiasm and the room was electrifying. Alexander did an incredible job and I look forward to collaborating with Alexander and our sponsors TAG Heuer in future.”
JAMM is an organization that promotes cultural diplomacy. Their mission is to create cultural projects without geographical boundary. They advance Arab and Iranian artists in the West and Western artists in the East, further collaborating the two.

After Kimmy’s arrival last night, E! Online published an article about her visit to Kuwait, and her meeting with the U.S Ambassador. See it for yourself at Keeping Up With The Kardashian News.
Hope to see all at the Millions of Milkshakes opening at The Grand Avenue! (Probably will, along with the rest of Kuwait)
