Meet the Dubai artist whose work has sold for millions — and turns down 99% of prospective buyers
"Most artists are linked very heavily to galleries ⦠whereas with this setup, I can actually develop my own relationships with my clients and really build that collector base all over the world," Jafri told CNBC's The Art of Appreciation.
