Sirak Melkonian Listed Artist Rare Iranian Painting Highly Sought After Offers!! Amazing and rare early work by highly collectible artist. Not much artwork coming out of this country now or will be for future due to political reasons. Painting itself seems to be in perfect condition. Frame has a couple nicks but nothing major at all dot sized and one or two streaks on frame.
No damage that I can see to painting at all or matting. Sirak Melkonian was born in Fardoun Village, Iran, 1931. He studied painting with Marcos Grigorian, a pioneer of Iranian Modern art.
In the 1950s, Melkonian along with artists E. Hayrapetian was associated with Studio Démon, a small arts studio in Tehran that produced popular works. He gained national recognition in 1957, winning a prize at the Contemporary Iranian Artist Exhibition of the Iran American Society. This was followed by the Imperial Court Prize at the Tehran Biennale in 1958 and first prize at the Paris Biennale in 1959. The artist has exhibited at the Grand Palais and the Salon De Mont Rouge in Paris, as well as Washington International.He has more than 140 solo exhibitions in various countries such as Iran, France, Greece, United States of America and Canada and more than 40 group exhibitions in Iran, Italy, France, USA, Pakistan, Germany, Switzerland, Canada and Armenia.
