Two European auction houses have achieved notable sales for two small yet distinctive works by Sadegh Tabrizi, underscoring the sustained demand for the Iranian master's art.
The two remarkable calligraphic paintings by Sadegh Tabrizi (1939–2017) currently on view at the 17th edition of Abu Dhabi Art, presented by Sohrab Gallery, are emblematic works from a period in which Tabrizi liberated the script from the confines of text and transformed it into a visual symphony. In these canvases, color, line, texture, rhythm, and spirituality intertwine so seamlessly that the viewer encounters both an aesthetic experience and a contemplative one.
Sohrab Gallery will present a collection of masterworks by Sadegh Tabrizi at Abu Dhabi Art 2025.
An authentic example of Saqqakhaneh painting: rich with religious, popular, and mystical symbols; a fusion of calligraphy and miniature painting; a blend of tradition, myth, and modern form. A visual poem. The horsemen—adorned with swords, flowing robes, and headdresses—appear as mythical figures, perhaps drawn from the Shahnameh or romantic epic tales. This series is known in the Iranian art community as “The Romantic Horsemen,” created around the 1970s and 80s.
