Lot Essay

'I have always been fascinated by the culture of my Persian inheritance: poetry, architecture and other arts... We have had art in every century in every place throughout the history of Iran. The three-dimensionality of Islamic architecture, which is not just seen in the building themselves, but also in details such as doors, doorknobs, grill-work...to me, these were all forms of sculpture as good as any in the West.'
(The artist quoted in H. Amirsadeghi (ed.), Different Sames New Perspectives in Contemporary Iranian art, London 2009, p. 274).
