The gallery has also chosen photos by Babak Kazemi and Arman Stepanian, and paintings by Alireza Astaneh, Mohammad Bozorgi, Babak Rashvand, Ladan Boroujerdi, Mohammad Sarreshteh and Behrouz Zeyndashti.
More than 120 art galleries from different countries will present their selections at the Viennafair 2012.
Founded in 2005, the Viennafair 2012 will be held by the title of the New Contemporary and with a program focused on contemporary art from Central and Eastern Europe.
According to Viennafair 2012 website, the New Contemporary reflects that old geo-political and cultural dichotomies no longer hold and that the newness and its associated dynamism which is not regularly exhibited or represented within the mainstream of European art fairs and international exhibiting institutions is totally welcome in Vienna.
Vienna boasts several of the world’s most renowned museums, a quarter dedicated to art, four precincts of the city jam-packed with some of the leading international galleries, and an opera, orchestral and concert culture that is second to none.
