Kamiar Maleki, the London-based director of the Pulse and Volta fairs, tells us about which artists he has his eye on.
What was your first acquisition? "Technically, a piece by Japanese photographer Tomoaki Makino from the now-defunct Museum 52, in London. But what I’d consider my first serious piece was a Ged Quinn painting, The Wintry Wind of the Bone, which I bought for under £8,000."
What was your most recent acquisition? "A painting by a young Iranian artist called Amir Khojasteh, from a group show at Gazelli Art House." A version of this story first appeared in the spring 2020
