Tanavoli publishes his memories of Kabud Atelier
TEHRAN, Nov. 18 (MNA) -- The book “Kabud Atelier” by contemporary sculptor Parviz Tanavoli was recently published by Bongah Publications, the Persian service of the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) reported on Saturday.

The 85-page book was written 10 years ago.

Illustrated by Mahmud Bakhshi-Moakhar, the first edition of the book had a print run of 3000 copies.

Tanavoli expresses his memories on Kabud Atelier, where he and Hossein Zendehrudi founded the Saqqakhaneh School, in which they combined traditional and modern styles in their works of art.

The Contemporary Artists Group, which included Sohrab Sepehri, Sirak Melkonian, Manuchehr Sheibani, and Tanavoli, was formed based on his suggestion in 1962 at the atelier.

The books “Riding in Splendor: Horse and Camel”(1998), “Trappings from Tribal Iran”(1998), “The Tacheh of Chahar Mahal”(1998), “Rustic and Tribal Weaves from Varamin”(2001) and “The Sofreh of Kamo” are Tanavoli’s other books.

The Kabud Atelier was Tanavoli’s first workshop and is located on Vali-e Asr Ave., across the street from the Artesh (Army) Hospital."
