Iran to mount Qur’anic calligraphy expos

Tehran’s Niavaran Cultural Complex is to host the first round of the exhibition that will be held from August 3 to 9, while the second expo displaying the same artworks will kick off on August 14 in the capital’s Milad Tower.

Esrafil Shirchi, Karam-Ali Shirazi, Einollah Sadeqzadeh and Gholam-Hossein Amirkhani are among the calligraphers whose works will be showcased at the events.

The works are scheduled to go under the hammer after the one-week exhibition at the second expo during an auction that will be conducted by the prominent Iranian actor Jamshid Mashayekhi, said the expo organizer Mohammad-Reza Kamarei.

Iran as one of the leading countries in art of calligraphy has held various international exhibitions during recent years. Many eminent Iranian calligraphers have been also honored in a number of international competitions so far.

The 2nd International Calligraphy Biennial Exhibition in two competition and non-competition categories was recently held in the Iranian city of Qazvin in April, 2012.
