The largest work by Vaziri to appear at auction, this striking sandwork is one of the finest examples of Vaziri’s avant-garde technique. After record breaking results earlier in the year (2021) we are delighted to present this work here.
The four years following Vaziri’s artistic training in Rome (1959-1963) were to be his most prolific and experimental - when he produced his sand works for which he is best known. It is important to note the stylistic and conceptual similarities between Vaziri and the works of Jasper Johns and Richard Long respectively -
Vaziri’s sandworks predate them both.
