Look at these two gorgeous art-works, included in the Magic of Persia / Sotheby’s exhibition / sale in Los Angeles!

The Red Love, Alireza Astaneh
I saw them (electronically at least) thanks to Roxane Zand writing here about what she described as a welcome “shift in mood and perception amongst Americans about Persians (aka) Iranians”. Even if I’m not holding my breath for anything concrete anytime soon on sanctions, it’s 100% certain that more people should be able to admire these two pieces.
