Knowledge creates collectors: A dialogue with Rosita Sharafjahan, Azad Art Gallery's director

23 August 2022
When the Azad Art Gallery was established in the beginning of the 2000s in Tehran, the number of galleries in the whole country was very small compared to today. However, in the passage of these two decades and the remarkable growth of the art economy in Iran, the role of galleries such as "Azad Art Gallery" has been serious and worthy of reflection. Many of today's famous artists of Iranian art, whose works are offered in domestic and international auctions, started their work with this gallery, and some of the newer collectors are the result of the paths that Rosita Sharafjahan  and Azad Art Gallery have taken during these two decades. The cooperation of collectors with professional and old galleries can attract the trust of the small market of visual arts and guarantee the profit of collectors. You can read the Artchart team's conversation with Rosita Sharafjahan below.
