Often named the father of modern sculpture in Iran, Parviz Tanavoli is well-known for his sculptures that evoke Persian history and poetry, but also the everyday. This book is an invitation into his world and his extraordinarily consistent vision. A habitual collector from an early age, Tanavoli is especially fascinated with objects that embody Persian traditions, things found in the Tehran bazaar or on his journeys across Iran: locks, amulets, rugs, and much more. Another facet of his collecting is his art collection, which has a very particular focus. Tanavoli's personal connection to the artists, whether they are his contemporaries or his students, links all of these pieces together.
