"Sultan Ali of Mashhad, Master of Nasta liq"
2001-01-19 until 2001-04-22
Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, NY, USA

This exhibition will examine the elegant calligraphy of the acknowledged master of nastacliq-the writing style likened to flying geese that was favored in 15th- and 16th-century Iran for poetical texts-and two of his famous pupils.

Some twenty examples of manuscripts and specimen pages, many enlivened with brilliant illumination, will be drawn from the Museum's holdings, supplemented by a few works from outside collections.

The exhibition is made possible by The Hagop Kevorkian Fund.
