Trails of the Lost Art of SADEQUAIN: Where Have All the Flowers Gone

By most estimates, Sadequain executed more than 15,000 pieces of artwork in his life — murals, paintings, drawings, and calligraphies. But he carelessly gave most of them away to institutions and individuals. In many cases, people walked away with significant numbers when they found Sadequain in high spirits, and often they were simply stolen as it has been reported in newspapers. In its relentless pursuit to catalog Sadequain’s paintings, murals, calligraphies, drawings, and poetry, the SADEQUAIN Foundation is planning a 12-volume catalog, comprising of more than 1,000 pages of text and 1,800 images, by far the largest catalog project on any artist of the country. To that end, this book is dedicated to chronicling the trail of significant pieces of Sadequain’s artwork that were ultimately tracked down in North America.
