Leila Taghinia-Milani Heller (LTMH) Gallery
TEHRAN – NEW YORK will explore synergies and differences among the works of 40 well-known and emerging contemporary Iranian artists living in Iran and the U.S.
The exhibition does not aim to define Iranian art, but rather to examine the unique visions that exist among Iranian artists, while encouraging a much-needed place for dialogue. However great the distance, there are always loose ties that unite these artists across the globe.

While many of the artists tackle the same political and social issues, the result is hugely varied due to the different perspectives of the geographically dispersed group.
