Books by Linda Komaroff

Filled with vibrant examples of painting, photography, sculpture, video, and other media, this book reveals how Iran's leading artists weave the country's past into the fabric of its contemporary art.

The offering of gifts - state, religious and personal - is a practice nearly as ancient and widespread as human culture itself. This illustrated book explores the complex interplay between artistic production and gift-based patronage by discussing works of great aesthetic refinement that were either commissioned or repurposed as gifts.
