Ankara museum mounts exhibit of Iranian paintings
TEHRAN, Feb. 10 (MNA) -- Paintings by a group of Iranian artists have been put on display in a weeklong exhibition at the Ankara State Museum of Painting and Sculpture.
Iranian painters Mehdi Salehi, Yavar Jamshidzadeh, Shahrokh Ekhtiari, and Reza Samadi along with a number of the museum’s officials attended the opening ceremony on Monday.
“The artworks on display at the exhibition are unique and amazing,” museum librarian Omer Osman Gundogdu said.
“The showcase will surely be warmly received by Turkish art enthusiasts,” he added.
He said that the museum is ready to host exhibitions of other Iranian artists and also to use their skills in restoration of Turkish historical paintings and sculptures.
The exhibition first had been held in Van, eastern Turkey months ago, said Turkish art show organizer Adnan Yildirim.
“Over the past seven years, Turkish cities of Istanbul, Van and Bursa have hung works by Iranian artists in 11 exhibits,” he stated.
He said that an exhibition of paintings by a number of Turkish painters is scheduled to be held in two months in Iran. However, no additional details were given about the show.
