In response to Adam’s questions about the Middle Eastern market, Christie’s Michael Jeha provided this interesting statistic that seems to be a new nugget of information about global market share:

Jeha points out that 8 per cent of Christie’s global turnover in 2011 – $456m – came from Middle Eastern buyers.
