Collecting is more than gathering works of art. It is a way of shaping a personal narrative of history, culture and art, one that takes form through individual choices and, over time, becomes a living memory. Each work holds value in its own right, while gaining new meaning through its relationship with the others.
This exhibition invites us to find beauty in the connections between different periods and forms of artistic expression. It brings together Qajar pictorial carpets, manuscripts, Iranian art of the Islamic period and contemporary art. Formed over more than twenty years of searching, choosing and learning, the collection tells a story that extends beyond any single work.
