Opening Reception for “Modernisms: Iranian, Turkish, and Indian Highlights from NYU’s Abby Weed Grey Collection”

Please join us for the opening reception of “Modernisms: Iranian, Turkish, and Indian Highlights from NYU’s Abby Weed Grey Collection” at the Grey Art Gallery at New York University.

The exhibition explores art from the 1960s and early ’70s from Iran, Turkey, and India via selections from the unparalleled Abby Weed Grey Collection of Modern Asian and Middle Eastern Art at New York University. Featuring approximately thirty to forty paintings, sculpture, drawings, and prints from each country, the exhibition will shed light on how Iranian, Turkish, and Indian artists created works that drew on their specific heritages while also engaging in global discourses around key issues of modernity.

The reception is free and open to the public.
