- Lot Description
Nasser Ovissi (American-Iranian, b. 1934), artist proof, signed at lower right margin, ca. mid to late 20th century. A signed artist proof by celebrated artist Nasser Ovissi, this piece is truly a highlight in our current holdings. This composition features nude lovers on the left, a nude male on the right who holds a book and has a string instrument, perhaps a Persian tar, as well as a wine vessel with a tipped wine glass and pools of spilled red wine. Perhaps this is Ovissi's interpretation of a Bacchanalian subject. The figures and slightly raised Persian tar are mostly white, making a striking contrast with the colorful setting and almost surreally merging in and out of the picture plane. In the artist's words, "My work is dedicated to the beauty of life and I hope those who experience my work will walk away with an experience of beauty." Size: 19.25" W x 15.375" H (48.9 cm x 39.1 cm); 30.25" W x 26.5" H (76.8 cm x 67.3 cm) framed
Ovissi was born in Tehran, Iran in 1934. He studied Law and Political Sciences at the University of Tehran prior to studying at Beaux Fine Art in Rome. Ovissi has earned numerous honors and awards. For example, his work was exhibited at the 1959 Paris Biennial and he won a Grand Prize at the 1962 Biennale of Fine Arts of Tehran. Currently, Ovissi resides and works in Reston, Virginia. His works have been collected by the Contemporary Art Museum in Madrid and the National Art Gallery of Greece in Athens.
Provenance: estate of William Stockton, Colorado, USA, acquired prior to 1974 while Mr. Stockton was stationed in Okinawa, Japan
