Tanavoli Exhibits Persian Carpets in Dubai
The Iranian Etemad Gallery in Dubai will be hanging a collection of Persian carpets created by veteran Iranian sculptor Parviz Tanavoli from December 9-14. Highlighting the significance of Persian carpets and its beautiful designs and patterns, the exhibit will be narrating part of the history of Persian carpets. Known as the country’s first significant modern sculptor, Tanavoli has concentrated on old pictorial carpets which have been replaced with modern designs these days, the Persian service of ILNA reported.
Tanavoli is the author of “Persian Flatweaves”, the first comprehensive survey on Persian carpets and the exhibit is trying to show part of these old flat-weaves.
Flatweaves have until recently been seen as merely the products and property of the poor. Since the late 1960s, however, growing attention has been paid to the best known type of flatweave, the kilim, revealing both its quality and variety.
