palestinian artist samia halabys market rise to continue this fall

Palestinian American artist Samia Halaby has experienced a dramatic surge in market value and institutional recognition over the past decade, with eight of her top 10 auction results occurring in the last three years. A Christie's sale in May 2025 saw her 2013 painting *Water Lilies* sell for $138,600, more than triple its 2020 result, while her 1974 work *Mediterranean #279* set her current auction record at £400,000 ($534,000) in 2020. Her first US museum survey opened in 2024 at Michigan State University's Eli and Edyth Broad Art Museum, and her work has been shown at MoMA, Tate Modern, and the Centre Pompidou, which acquired a piece last year.
