MOHAMMAD MOTTAHEDAN
Mohammad Mottahedan is an art patron and advisor living in London. At the start of the 1980s, a new generation of artists burst onto the American scene; eager to play a part in this golden age of New York contemporary art, Mottahedan set about assembling a comprehensive collection of what is now recognised as historically important work. The Mottahedan Collection includes over eighty works by iconic artists of 80s, including Jeff Koons, Christopher Wool, Cindy Sherman, Barbara Kruger and Peter Halley. Images from the collection have been published in a fully illustrated book, Once Upon a Time in America by Christie’s Books. More recently, Mottahedan extended his interests to the young British art scene, represented by the likes of Raqib Shaw, Wangchi Mutu and Nigel Cooke.
