Iranian artists have been producing some of the world’s most thought-provoking and intellectually grounded artworks.
In this landmark compendium, renowned art historian Hamid Keshmirshekan provides a thorough review of contemporary art in Iran and shows that the twentieth century was a crucial period in the country’s art and culture, when the legacies of tradition and modernism where critically reassessed.
Contemporary Iranian Art is an unprecedented introduction to Iran’s vibrant art history over the past one hundred years. This fully revised and updated edition features more than 370 colour illustrations by the country’s leading artists, including Mahmoud Bakhshi, Shadi Ghadirian, Barbad Golshiri, Marcos Grigorian, Farhad Moshiri, Shirin Neshat, Sohrab Sepehri, Mitra Tabrizian, Parviz Tanavoli and Charles Hossein Zenderoudi.
