On the coveted Next 100 list of TIME magazines, Pakistan-born artist Salman Toor, who was making waves in the New York art scene, has been featured.
The list, an expansion of the prestigious TIME 100 list, is said to highlight 100 emerging leaders who are ready to shape history, including “doctors and scientists fighting against COVID-19, advocates for equality and justice, journalists standing up for the truth, and artists sharing their visions of the present and future.”
Toor wrote, “Super excited to be included in TIME100 Next 2021 among emerging leaders who are shaping the future,” to express gratitude to Instagram for the mention.
After his painting, titled Rooftop Party with Ghosts I, sold for a whopping $822,000 at Christie’s post-war and contemporary art auction, Toor’s work has been gaining more attention now.
