Farshid Maleki Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1943 -

Widely recognised as a master of Iranian modernism, in recent years Farshid Maleki has come to enjoy well-deserved and belated international success. He was born in Tehran in 1943 where he continues to live, work, and teach fine arts. In addition to his painting and teaching, he has also worked as an art critic, which allowed him a different perspective – to look at art from the outside in. In his teaching and mentoring of younger generations of Iranian artists both in Tehran and Isfahan, Maleki has been an important influence in the evolution of the current art production.
