- About the lot
- The present lot is an exceptional example from Sohrab Sepehri's celebrated Tree Series. Executed in the late 1960's, the depiction of Trees, for Sepehri, represented an escape from the harsh urban environment that he found so oppressive and melancholic, longing for a return to the verdant pastures of his native Kashan.
