Catalogue Note
"Ardeshir was not only a dear friend but a genius in his field. We worked on so many books and posters together that i have lost track. Every Friday, until we moved to America we hanged out in my flat in Tehran, share some very challenging ideas together about the world. My place had an open door policy, everyone from the vibrant Tehran art scene was welcomed: Ghassem Hajizadeh, Zenderoudi, Bob Wilson, Bijan Saffari, Lucas Samaras, Nazi Atri, Toni Shafarzi, Leyly Matine Daftary, Gougoush, amongst many others."
