TEHRAN – A Persian version of the book “Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Gallerists but Were Afraid to Ask”, Italian curator Andrea Bellini’s book that contains interviews with the owners of 51 major galleries of the world, has been published in Tehran.
Published by Nazar Publications, the book was unveiled at Tehran’s O Gallery on Friday, the Persian service of ISNA reported on Sunday.
Orkideh Darrudi, owner of the gallery, is the translator of the book.
The book contains interviews with 51 gallery owners from Europe, the Americas, and Asia and their relationship with artists, and what they love and hate about their work.
It also gives valuable insights and advice to collectors.
Andrea Bellini is currently director of the Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève.
According to Darudi, the book is a good source for gallery owners in Iran, because it centers on the spiritual aspect of running a gallery in addition to the economics.
The book was introduced on the sidelines of an exhibition of paintings and drawings by Elham Yazdanian underway at the gallery until January 5.
The gallery is located at 46 Khosro Alley, off Villa Street.
