The art of diplomacy: Getting Warhol and Picasso out of Tehran - World - CBC News

'"We wish we had enough suitable space to showcase all the art," Noferesti said, "because we're eager for people to come see."'

'Warhol and Picasso, Renoir and Degas, Bacon and Monet form the cornerstones of a collection featuring some 1,500 precious modern art pieces that have been absent from the wider art world for more than four decades. '

'Because by any measure, the collection held at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art is exceptional, the greatest outside the West. '

'"About 99 per cent of politicians and officials who come from other countries put in a request to see the vault," Noferesti said with a smile. '

'A major obstacle emerged last May when Iran hosted a cartoon contest about the Holocaust condemned around the world — and the head of the Tehran museum gave out the award. '
