Germany to exhibit artworks from Tehran Contemporary Art Museum
Germany is set to host an exhibition of artworks currently held at Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.
“We are planning to organize an exhibition, showcasing 30 Iranian and 30 international artworks from the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Berlin,” director of the Visual Arts Bureau of Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance Majid Molla-Norouzi announced on Saturday.
“The event will exhibit some of the world’s most prominent artworks and we expect to receive 500 to one million visitors,” he added.
According to Molla-Norouzi, visitors will also get the chance to take part in conferences and seminars on the sidelines of the exhibition in order to get more familiar with Iranian art.
The Iranian official noted that France, the Netherlands and Austria have also offered to host similar exhibitions.
Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art houses the most valuable collection of Western modern art outside Europe and the United States.
The museum hosts a collection of approximately £2.5 billion worth of modern art from renowned modern and contemporary artists, such as Paul Gauguin, Jackson Pollock, Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti and Andy Warhol.
