Showcasing more than works by 26 artists, the exhibition illuminates Iranâ€s little known pre-Islamic Revolution era when Tehran was a cosmopolitan art center, artists were engaged with the world through their participation in the Venice Biennale and other international art festivals, and their work was collected by institutions inside and outside of Iran.
The paintings, sculpture, works on paper and photography included in the exhibition are organized thematically to map the genesis of Iranian modernism and argues that the development of modernist art is inherently more globally interconnected than has been previously acknowledged.
The exhibition comprises loans from public and private collections from the United States and eight countries in Europe and the Middle East.
These rich holdings illustrate the extent to which collectors outside of Iran were engaged with the work of Iranian artists during this period. Lending institutions include The Grey Art Gallery, New York University Art Collection, JPMorgan Chase Art Collection, The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and Tate, London.
"To understand contemporary Iranian art, one must understand this period when artists laid the foundations for modernism," says Asia Society Museum Director, Melissa Chiu.
