The Algemeiner has learned that the secret Iranian art
collection now partially displayed at Tehran’s Museum of Contemporary Art
includes up to ten works of Israel’s highest-selling and most iconic artist
Yaacov Agam.
In an interview, his son expressed concern over the future of the
masterpieces.
The modern art collection which is considered to be the
finest of its kind anywhere outside of Europe and the US, boasts works by
Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol,
Edvard Munch and others, and was brought before the revolution by the late
Shah’s wife, Empress Farah Pahlavi.
