The first and only book on one of the finest private collections of contemporary Iranian art

This sumptuous volume features almost 250 contemporary artworks and a selection of medieval and early modern Islamic art - the heralded collection of Mohammed Afkhami, a prominent player at the cultural and regional front line of Middle Eastern art. Honar (meaning 'art' in Farsi, the language of Iran), includes works ranging from the disturbingly subversive to exquisitely inclusive, exhibiting the pain of exile, the querying of ideology, and the artistic insistence on personal independence.

Sussan Babaie is the Andrew W. Mellon Lecturer in the Arts of Iran and Islam at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Natasha Morris is a PhD candidate in the Department of Art History, Courtauld Institute. Venetia Porter is Assistant Keeper (Curator) of Islamic and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art at the British Museum, London.
