Phoenix Ancient Art, one of the world’s most eminent galleries specializing in Classical Antiquities, is pleased to announce that it will exhibit in the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris at the Grand Palais (15-22 September 2010). Hicham Aboutaam, co-owner of Phoenix Ancient Art, says, “We love the Biennale. It provides the ideal setting for us to show our most significant works in the company of some of the most distinguished dealers in the world. In addition to being the place where one can find the finest works of art on the market today, the Paris Biennale is also the most glamorous antiques fair in the world and is always full of aesthetic surprises.”
Phoenix Ancient Art has participated in the last two Biennales, where the gallery has attracted an enormous amount of praise from both the public and the media. The gallery has consistently shown exquisite masterpieces, displayed in stunning settings. This year the tradition will continue. Phoenix is certain to live up to even the highest expectations with a stand containing a wide range of antiquities.
