The United States’ sanctions on Iran have limited the Iranian art market’s connections with the international art network. Galleries try to compensate for such limitations through online marketing and exhibition. Thus, the sanctions not only impact the form of marketing exerted by dealers but also directly influence the type of artistic production. Such changes also reshape the art market in the Arab states. The transition from tangible to intangible has become a strategy for the regional market to bypass the sanctions and develop business with the global collectors and institutions. A quantitative analysis was used to demonstrate the impact of the sanctions on the art market in Iran and the United Arab Emirates. This analysis examined all exhibitions in 12 commercial galleries in Tehran and Dubai from 2009 to 2019, statistically assessing the index of changes over this period and calculating the variations, particularly during the years of intensified sanctions. The study indicates how the propensity of galleries for a digitally networked economy is becoming a solution to reduce the impacts of the sanctions in order for the galleries to maintain their clientele of international collectors and dealers.

美国对伊朗的经济制裁及其对中东艺术品市场的影响

美国对伊朗的制裁限制了伊朗艺术市场与国际艺术网络的联系。画廊试图通过在线营销和展览来弥补这种局限性。因此，制裁不仅影响经销商的营销形式，而且直接影响艺术作品的类型。这种变化也重塑了阿拉伯国家的艺术品市场。从有形到无形的过渡已成为区域市场绕开制裁并与全球收藏家和机构开展业务的战略。定量分析被用来证明制裁对伊朗和阿拉伯联合酋长国艺术品市场的影响。该分析考察了2009年至2019年德黑兰和迪拜的12个商业画廊中的所有展览，统计评估此期间的变化指数并计算变化，尤其是在加大制裁的年份。该研究表明，画廊对数字网络经济的倾向如何成为减少制裁影响的解决方案，以使画廊保持其国际收藏家和经销商的客户群。
