An international auction was coordinated to be held in Kish Island and now the pre-requisitions are met, said Iran’s Minister of Culture Ali Jannati in a ceremony for the new public show of paintings of Farideh Lashai - an Iranian artist and designer (1944-Feb. 2013) with more than 4000 pieces and a novel in Farsi- at Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Tehran on Saturday.
He added that many international museums across the globe have requested to borrow works of contemporary Iranian art stored in the treasury of Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art and some agreements have been made with German and Italian museums.
The Iranian minister voiced hope that the positive atmosphere after the landmark Iran-Sextet agreement of July 14, would bring many merits to Iranian art arena in terms of international cooperation.
