Book Modern Iran: Impossible Collection by Assouline

Description

During her reign as the first queen in Iranian history, Empress Farah Pahlavi dedicated her life to serving the Iranian people, creating and organizing museums and festivals across the country. With a keen eye and in collaboration with Sotheby's, Christie's and the Met, the Empress was able to amass one of the world's largest collections of modern art for her country, including works by van Gogh, Picasso, Bacon and Kooning. She empowered a generation of young Iranian artists, visited the studios of artists like Henry Moore and Chagall, and commissioned works directly from the young Andy Warhol, who visited the Royal Palace, on behalf of establishing her country as cultural avant-garde. Then, in 1979, the unimaginable happened and the Iran that emerged after the Revolution changed everything. Iran Modern: The Empress of Art uncovers the lost story of Farah Pahlavi's astonishing journey from empress to exile and sheds light on the almost forgotten collection of contemporary art she left behind.

White gloves and an iconic canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of Assouline's ultimate collection.
