During her reign as the first queen in Iranian history, Empress Farah Pahlavi dedicated her life to serving the Iranian people, creating and organizing museums and festivals throughout the country. With her keen eye and her collaboration with Sotheby’s, Christie’s and the Met, the Empress was able to assemble one of the world’s greatest collections of modern art for her country, including works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Bacon and de Kooning. She empowered a generation of young Iranian artists, visited the studios of artists like Henry Moore and Chagall, and commissioned works directly from the young Andy Warhol, who visited the Royal Palace in the name of establishing his country as a cultural avant-garde.
Then, in 1979, the unimaginable happened, and the Iran that emerged after the Revolution changed everything. Iran Modern: The Empress of Art reveals the lost story of Farah Pahlavi’s remarkable journey from empress to exile, and shines a light on the nearly forgotten collection of contemporary art she left behind.
