Sami Hayek: Frequency
拍卖概览
Christie’s Middle East is honoured to present Sami Hayek Frequency, a selling exhibition from Christie’s Private Sales, the first to take place in the Middle East for Mexican multi-disciplinary artist Sami Hayek taking place from 4–14 November at Christie’s, DIFC, Dubai during Dubai Design Week 2024.
Sami Hayek (b. 1973) lives and works in Los Angeles. He grew up in Veracruz, Mexico, to a Lebanese father, and an Oaxacan mother. His introduction to a diverse array of cultures and community-focused upbringing played a huge role in his creative development, and who he is as a designer today. In Veracruz, everything is approached from an experiential point of view rather than materialistic or stylistic. This ethos became a part of Hayek’s approach as a designer, and his niche ability to convey an experience through spaces and objects.
Sami Hayek is known for creating exquisitely designed original thought-provoking objects, including furniture, sculpture and art installations which evoke specific feelings in relation to both the space they occupy and between the materials which are meticulously selected to work in harmony together. Frequency delves into the concept of how objects hold and radiate intentions, resonating with the individuals who encounter them creating a profound connection between the viewer and their environment.
Sami Hayek debuted Frequency at Christie’s Los Angeles in 2023 to resounding success, receiving strong demand to take the exhibition abroad. Over twenty unique pieces will be on view in Dubai, bringing his unique artistic practice to the UAE for the first time. The artist’s design process explores the interactions that certain materials have with one another and how each object’s blended ‘frequencies’ co-exist together. Materials including volcanic rock, marble, anodized aluminium, glass beads and precious woods are used to create objects using both machine precision and artisan hand-tooled skills which can take hundreds of hours to create. Each piece's original features, whether a colour change, the use of materials or a truly bespoke element, ensure every work is one-of-a-kind.
The exhibition will take place at Christie’s, DIFC, Dubai from 4–14 November. Entry is free and open to all.
Sami Hayek Frequency A Selling Exhibition is being held in partnership with GUCCI.
Christie’s would like to thank Emirates NBD, Signature by Priority Banking for their sponsorship of the Sami Hayek exhibition.
