At Phoenix Ancient Art, one piece sold just as the fair opened, with six pieces under serious negotiation within an hour.
"People are interested in beautiful things. When they hear how old the work is, and they hear the prices, compared to modern art, they understand that they're undervalued. They become collectors," Phoenix Ancient Art's owner, Hicham Aboutaam, said.
Just as he finished speaking, a woman approached, brimming with enthusiasm. "I bought my daughter a tribal idol," she said.

FINANCIAL TIMES Features Phoenix and its Famous Egyptian Schimmel Head
Queen Mutnodjmet’s face is calm, dignified and relaxed. Befitting an Egyptian monarch, her expression is cool and confident with a girlish beauty. Her skin looks velvety soft. Unfortunately for the queen, her nose was hacked off and her eyes gouged out, possibly by an opponent of her husband Pharaoh Horemheb’s reign. Other than that, she has weathered the 3,300 years since she was created remarkably well...
“She is so beautiful,” says Hicham Aboutaam, co-owner of Phoenix Ancient Art and head of its New York gallery. “She was very difficult to get hold of but we are so excited to have her.”
