Scaled back Art Dubai 2026 reveals wide impact of Iran war

Art Dubai 2026 has announced a significantly scaled-back edition for its 20th anniversary, now running from May 15 to 17 at Madinat Jumeirah with a VIP day on May 14. The fair will feature just 50 galleries—a 60% drop from pre-war expectations—and will be free for all visitors for the first time. Two-thirds of participants are Middle East-based, with all Indian galleries canceling due to safety concerns, shipping risks, and lack of insurance. A new “risk-sharing” model allows galleries to pay a percentage of sales capped at their booth fee, while half of withdrawn galleries’ fees are refunded and half credited toward 2027.

Giant T. Rex Fossil Could Net a Monster Price at Sotheby’s

Sotheby's New York will auction a 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil named Gus on July 14, with an estimated value of $20–$30 million—the highest estimate ever placed on a dinosaur skeleton. The specimen, discovered in Harding County, South Dakota, on land owned by the late rancher Gary "Gus" Licking, is approximately 63 percent complete with 183 fossil bone elements, including a well-preserved skull and rare humeri. Excavated over three summers from 2021 to 2023, Gus is comparable in size and integrity to only two other T. rex fossils that have come to market: Stan and Sue.
