This poster was purchased directly from the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art by my family while living in Tehran prior to the 1979 Revolution and has remained in private collection since. The design reflects the period’s embrace of modern architecture, bold color, and abstraction, aligning with the museum’s forward-looking cultural mission at the time.

Original museum-issued posters from this era are increasingly scarce, particularly those highlighting the institution’s architectural and graphic design language rather than a single exhibition.

Condition: Light creasing consistent with age and original storage; no restoration.
Unframed.

An elegant and historically important piece of Iranian modernist design.
