Hossein Zenderoudi

Charles-Hossein Zenderoudi is one of the most well-known Iranian calligraphers. He is one of the founders of the “Sagha Khaneh” movement. He graduated with a diploma in Fine Arts from Tehran Academy in 1960. He dropped out of the school of Decorative Arts in 1961 and moved to France to participate in the second Paris Biennial. He held his first solo exhibition in Reza Abbasi Hall. In 1962, he won an award in the third Tehran Biennial. His works have been exhibited in different countries. In 2001, the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Tehran held an exhibition of his works. Kazemi’s first appearance at the auctions dates back to May 2006 at Christie's Auction House. Until 2021, his works have an ongoing presence in 337 domestic and foreign auctions and 65 percent of his works were sold in international auctions. His most expensive work until 2021 was hammered at the Bonhams auction for one million and 609 thousand dollars in May 2008. His early works were surrealist paintings. During the conservatory, he created a religious painting by using Linocut print. He created the “Sagha Khane '' collection by using visual signs of popular and religious culture. He began Calligraphy by repeating letters and words in monochromatic or color combinations after getting familiar with the Lettrism movement. In other periods of his career, he added small numbers and words to his previous technique, blurring the line between calligraphy and painting. He also used handprints in some of his works during his career. “Delicacy in conveying his message has enabled Zenderoudi at different stages of his career to create a cultural position for himself and ensure its modernity originally and especially,” said the famous French critic Pierre Restany about Zenderoudi. “After Sagha Khaneh, came the Parisian Informel and Lettrisme. favoring calligraphy signs over calligraphy methods implies changing the symbols to utilize them better.”
