Launched in 2012, Tehran Auction is the first of its kind in Iran as an independent and private initiative that introduces the best of Iranian art from established and emerging Iranian artists to Iranian art collectors and a global audience. The initiative endeavors to address the increasing interest in modern and contemporary Iranian art and to facilitate the acquisition of high-quality works from various genres. Tehran Auction aims to support the domestic art market as a fundamental basis for the international market, which is why it works with a wide variety of Iranian art galleries and collectors to ensure a broad selection of paintings, sculptures, and photographs.
