A very special piece from the New Zealand-based artist Areez Katki's recent body of work is Thieves' Market, which we were lucky enough to see in person at TARQ's booth at the India Art Fair 2024 in New Delhi. Thieves Market is a tapestry or frieze made up of several fragments that reference lost, excavated, and even stolen, objects and artefacts that are now mostly housed in glass cases in European museums, such as the Louvre and the British Museum. Each fragment is handwoven in the traditional Zoroastrian toran beadwork technique using Czech glass beads that the artist inherited from his maternal great-grandmother.
