Review of Iran Modern Exhibition at Asia Society New York Analyzes Curatorial Approaches

Pamela Karimi published an essay on October 5, 2014, reviewing the Iran Modern Exhibition at the Asia Society in New York. The exhibition ran from September 6, 2013, to January 5, 2014, presenting the first major international retrospective of Iranian art from the 1960s and 1970s. Karimi's analysis focuses on the curatorial strategies employed in the show, which highlighted art from a period not widely known outside Iran. The essay is available through MIT Press under subscription-only access. This review examines how the exhibition framed Iranian modern art within international contexts.
