About

Mottahedan Projects (MP) is more than a space—it’s a deep-rooted passion for contemporary art that began with collecting in the 1980s, culminating in the publication of Once Upon a Time in America. MP has since evolved to exhibit both emerging and established artists in project spaces across Dubai, Tehran, and London, with the goal of expanding the global presence of contemporary art.

MP’s pursuit of iconic works extends beyond personal collecting, focusing on advising collectors to foster innovative platforms and transform our experience of contemporary art. This commitment prioritizes collections that reflect and engage with the cultural moment, encouraging fresh perspectives on art’s role today.

In advising collectors, MP emphasizes artists with historical significance, strong institutional support, and forward-thinking approaches, making them ideal for both new and seasoned collections. This approach blends market insight with cultural depth, creating collections that are historical and reflective of contemporary art’s evolving landscape.

MP is currently not accepting unsolicited proposals. Thank you for your cooperation.
