This short message to inform readers that this blog will not be updated for the foreseeable future. All previous posts remain available, so if you want to get started in Islamic art History and Market, I recommend the following:

• Why does Islamic Arts History matter? (2018)
• Under the shade of the tent: Showing Islamic Arts today (2020)
• A short guide for new collectors (2020)
• Top 20 of the Most Expensive Islamic Art Pieces – part 1 (2023)
• Top 20 of the Most Expensive Islamic Art Pieces – part 2 (2023)

I put a lot of care and effort in writing each post, and I am not willing to compromise on quality just to produce content. So, this is goodbye for now! I am not excluding posting again at some point, but for now, life has other plans for me and I won’t be able to free the time needed to write interesting and insightful texts.

Finally, and most importantly, I wish to thank all the readers who have been following this blog and have contributed, one way or the other, to its success. Take care, stay curious, be happy!
