Bahman Mohasses is an icon of Iranian modernism, taking inspiration from artists including Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore and Alberto Giacometti – alongside myriad influences from theatre, mythology, tragic heroes and cinema. In Personaggio I from 1968, a faceless head takes centre-stage, encapsulating the artist’s tendency towards solitude and existential output.

The work was formerly in the collection of Nelson Rockefeller, the U.S Vice President from 1974 to 1977. Rockefeller held a close relationship with the Shah of Iran, and travelled to the country extensively, including for the star-studded opening of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. It was later donated by the Rockefeller family for a charity auction in aid of the Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, where it was acquired by the current owners.

The work is in our London galleries today, and open for bidding for one more day, as part of our online auction '20th Century Art / Middle East'. Link in bio for more.
