The international collection of the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art embraces the most significant artistic trends and styles of the 20th century and includes important works by most of the prominent and representative figures that emerged during this period. It leads the viewer through the history of modern art movement, exploring its roots and covering all the major schools embodied by important works of their leading artists.

This collection is widely believed to be one of the great surprises of the international museum world, as it offers a panorama of the chief developments in western painting and sculpture from the rise of Impressionism to the triumph of Minimalism. Hence, it would be justifiable to say that this is the most important collection of western art outside western world.
The collection starts with dazzling pictures by the Impressionists, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro and Edouard Vuillard, known as the pioneers of the revolution in light and colour, who tended to apply paint in small touches of pure colour rather than blended strokes. Their strong belief in painting out of doors, in order to catch a particular fleeting impression of the nature, rather than making a synthesis of colours in the studio can clearly be observed in these works.Then the brilliant works by Gauguin, Lautrec and Van Dongen illustrate the post-Impressionist tendencies.



The other two key figures in the evolution of Modernism, namely Braque and Picasso, are also represented in the collection by major works dating from the 1920s. they portray the early preoccupation of Cubist artists with flat surfaces and geometrical insight. Other works of Picasso show the artist beginning to abandon Cubism and moving towards Surrealism.



Outstanding artists Such as Motherwell, Rothko, Pollock, Gottlieb , de Kooning , Jackson Pollock , Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Jones, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg and Andy Warhol. Morris Louis, Robin Denny and Frank Stella , Frantisek Kupka , Vasarely Ad Reinhardt, Agnes Martin , Donald Judd , Vincent Van gogh , James Ensor ,Rene Magrit , Francis Bacon and … are also included in the collection.

Inspite of The balance in his Sculptures and the Silence he creats trough them ,Kaveh shows more Depression and escape from reality in his paintings . Kaveh ‘s recent paintings are changed ,but Maybe just the subject and the forms are different. As you can see He has not changed his Style of Painting,The way he holds the brush and the way he mixes colors , and also the way he cares about The Composition.
