Arab Art in Tehran…

I love the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, which has the finest collection of modern western art outside of the U.S. and Europe. Currently, the museum is hosting an exhibition of modern Arab art. Karim Sultan, the curator of the show, has stressed the power of art to transcend politics and division. He notes: “Whatever the situation is, art has a way of moving over the situation, and a lot of people engage in a different kind of conversation, perhaps in a positive way.”
