ELIZABETH TAYLOR in IRAN 1976 an Exhibition of Photographs by Firooz Zahedi 568 WEST 25TH STREET | NEW YORK NY 10001
ELIZABETH TAYLOR IN IRAN 1976 An exhibition of photographs by Firooz Zahedi 568 WEST 25TH STREET | NEW YORK NY 10001 ELIZABETH TAYLOR IN IRAN 1976 An exhibition of photographs by Firooz Zahedi September 22 - October 29, 2011 ELIZABETH TAYLOR IN IRAN 1976 An exhibition of photographs by Firooz Zahed In 1976 Elizabeth Taylor visited Iran for the first and only time. Accompanying her was Firooz Zahedi, today a successful Hollywood photographer but then a recent art school graduate just learning his craft. Iran provided an exotic and engaging locale for Taylor, a tireless global wanderer still at the height of her fame. For Zahedi, who had left Iran as a child, this was a reintroduction to his own country, which he experienced not only thru the camera lens, but also through Taylor’s eyes. It was a remarkable journey for both as documented by Zahedi’s vivid photographs, shown together here for the first time. The pair traveled to the main tourist sites: ancient Persepolis, where the Tent City erected in 1971 for the 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire was still standing, Shiraz, home of poetry and wine, and Isfahan, renowned for its beautiful tile-clad buildings. Grouped in narrative fashion, the images depict people and places with the actress as tourist, but one so iconic that she is never anonymous even wrapped in a chador. In the Isfahan bazaar, Taylor was attracted to and purchased a traditional tribal outfit. Dressed in this colorful costume and in full makeup, the film star posed as an Oriental odalisque, an especially suitable persona for one who was herself a male fantasy.

LACMA for Immediate Release
LACMA for immediate release EXHIBITION: Elizabeth Taylor in Iran: Photographs by Firooz Zahedi ON VIEW: February 26—june 12, 2011 LOCATION: ahmanson building, level 4 LACMA FEATURES A SELECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS FROM 1976 DOCUMENTING ELIZABETH TAYLOR’S ONLY VISIT TO IRAN (image captions on page 3) (Los Angeles, February 1, 2011)—The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Elizabeth Taylor in Iran: Photographs by Firooz Zahedi, featuring thirty-two images taken in 1976 during Elizabeth Taylor’s first and only visit to Iran. Accompanying her was Firooz Zahedi, today a successful Hollywood photographer but then a recent art school graduate just learning his craft. Iran provided an exotic and engaging locale for Taylor, a tireless global wanderer still at the height of her fame. For Zahedi, who had left Iran as a child and only returned twice before, this was a reintroduction to his own country, which he experienced not only through the camera lens but through Taylor’s eyes. This visit in 1976, prior to the Islamic Revolution, proved to be his last to the country of his birth. Shown together here for the first time, Zahedi’s vivid photographs document this remarkable journey—the pair traveled to the main tourist sites in Iran: ancient Persepolis, where the Tent City erected in 1971 for the 2,500th anniversary celebrations of the founding of the Persian Empire was still standing; Shiraz—home of poetry and wine; and Isfahan—renowned for its beautiful tile-clad buildings. Elizabeth Taylor says, “Seeing these photographs brings back fond memories of my visit to Iran, a country blessed with a rich and colorful culture that dates back many centuries." Grouped in narrative fashion, some of the photographs simply document the people and places of Iran—not all feature the actress as tourist.

SPRING 2020 WWW.POINTEDLEAFPRESS.COM 2 CATEGORY CATEGORY 3 A NOTE FROM THE PUBLISHER It gives me great pleasure to present the Pointed Leaf Press catalog for Spring 2020. Since the company was founded in 2002, it has grown to become one of the top—and award-winning—publishers of illustrated books in the worlds of interior design, landscape design, architecture, fashion, art, and photography. As a former art historian, and with over 35 years as a journalist, editor, and reporter, at such publications as the New York Times, as well as at numerous magazines such as New York, Esquire, and House & Garden, I continue to be fascinated by the careers and accomplishments—as well as the intimate and powerful stories—of the talented people in the creative fields that are so influential and essential to the world in which we live. At Pointed Leaf Press, I work closely with Frederico Farina, our creative director, to ensure that each of our books is designed, produced, and edited to the highest standards. Each of our titles is individualistic and created to suit the needs and aspirations of its author—whether to feature, for today’s audiences, the work of top interior designers and architects, to introduce the work of legendary photographers to a new generation, or to bring attention to an important, emerging talent. Collecting, one of my life-long passions, is also the focus of many of our titles, offering a glimpse into subjects that are both original and stimulating. I am particularly proud that many of our custom-designed books have not only been successful in the marketplace, but continue to serve as efficient marketing and branding tools for their authors.
