'Iran Modern'

Unveiling the far-reaching and relentless work of Empress Farah Pahlavi, Iran's first queen, 'Iran Modern' explore the magnificent collection of modern art left behind by the empress following the country's 1979 Revolution. Frequently collaborating with Sotheby’s, Christie’s, and the Met, and often paying visits to the studios of the likes of Henry Moore and Chagall, the Empress amassed an outstanding modern art collection on behalf of Iran, which included pieces by Van Gogh, Picasso, Bacon, de Kooning and Warhol. This tome, published by Assouline, delves into the full extent of the magnificent collection and Pahlavi's quest to establish Iran as a cultural vanguard.
