85 x 74cm (33 7/16 x 29 1/8in).

Footnotes

Provenance:
Acquired directly from the artist in 1989

This work is sold with a photo certificate from the Archives Charles Hossein Zenderoudi and will be included in the catalogue raisonne currently being prepared.

"Zenderoudi neglected all the rules of calligraphy and concentrated his efforts on exploring the visual nature of graphic elements and their aspects of signification. His attempts at innovative writing culminated in the genesis of a kind of hyper graphic space: an abstract and dynamic structure through the rhythm, movement and intermingling of signs"
- Ruyin Pakbaz
