Sadegh Tabrizi, a prominent figure in Iran’s modern art movement and one of the pioneers of Naqqashi-Khat (calligraphic painting) and the Saqqakhaneh school, was born in 1938 in Tehran. He initially studied miniature painting at the School of Fine Arts and later earned a master’s degree in interior architecture from the Faculty of Decorative Arts. Drawing on Iranian calligraphy, miniature painting, Qahvehkhaneh (coffeehouse) art, and Qajar-era motifs, Tabrizi developed a unique style within Naqqashi-Khat. He created the first examples of calligraphic painting on ceramics at the workshop of the Ministry of Fine Arts and is considered one of the founders of this genre. In 1973, he also founded Gallery 66 in Tehran. His works were exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions, including at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as in New York and Los Angeles, and were featured in major auctions such as Sotheby’s and Bonhams. Tabrizi contributed to projects such as the interior design of Tehran’s Hilton Hotel and the Shrine of Abdol Azim, earning the First-Class Medal of Culture and Islamic Guidance. His works are held in the collections of New York University, Han Art Museum in China, and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. Sadegh Tabrizi passed away in 2017.
