Artnews The works on the auction block at Tehran’s high-end Azadi Hotel – the former Hyatt near the infamous Evin Prison – played it safe, however. The collection, such as the 1970 painting “The Body of Trees,” avoided any political overtones. That piece, by the late painter and poet Sohrab Sepeheri, brought the highest price of the auction, about $220,000. The buyer, the private Pasargad Bank, already has bought more than 140 artworks in recent years as part of plans for a museum. dailystar.lb/Culture/Art/2013/Jul-13/223503-tehran-art-auction-lures-spenders-amid-hard-times.ashx#axzz2Zn3XWGxm
