About

Austin / Desmond Fine Art is delighted to present a solo exhibition of one of the most influential and pioneering artists of the Middle East: Parviz Tanavoli, the internationally recognized artist and Iran's first significant modern sculptor. He has taken part in several international group exhibitions and is one of the most popular artists at auctions. His work The Wall (Oh Persepolis) set an unbroken world auction record of 2.8 million dollars, for the sale of a work by a Middle Eastern artist at Christies Dubai, 30 April 2008. To mark this event, Tanavoli will participate in an artist debate held at The British Museum on 22nd September 2011, organised with the help of The British Museum and Iran Heritage Foundation.
