And two artists (Re)emerging, which has an extraordinary production in previous decades and is currently receiving attention from the art market: Niobe Xando and Miguel dos Santos. It is a portfolio made up of artists with different profiles, but which have the solidity of having their works appreciate more than 10% the year.
