Axel Vervoordt’s (Frieze Masters, Stand C5) Viewing Room juxtaposes a collection of 20th-century avant-garde art with a selection of high-quality antiquities. This beautiful figure represents a woman of means and status. Derived from Yemen, Qatabān Kingdom, said to be from Ḥayd Ibn ʿAqīl, the necropolis of ancient Timna, the carved likeness would have almost certainly been intended to adorn the woman's tomb, either as a testament to her earthly life or in hopes of assurance for a life hereafter.
