The 53-year-old work Variation Tendre Tourmaline by Hossein Zenderoudi bears a French title meaning “Tender Tourmaline,” a poetic reference to a semi-precious stone. The name infuses the composition with a sense of preciousness and delicacy, enhancing the gem-like quality of its calligraphic lines. The painting is a visual–spiritual experience: letters swirl like particles of energy, inviting viewers to contemplate both meaning and form.
The color palette of “Composition”, a work by Hossein Zenderoudi held in the Raha Gallery Middle East Collection, evokes the essence of earth, soil, and natural elements. Combined with the use of organic forms, it conveys a deep sense of connection to nature and tradition. The contrast between the warm colors and bold black lines adds to the strength and visual impact of the piece.
The auction offered 90 works by 69 artists consisting of 83 paintings and 7 sculptures. A total of 82 works were sold, which makes it a %91 sold by lot, achieving a hammer price of %112 against the total low estimates.
