The exhibition ‘From Iran to China’ celebrates the Nader Rasti’s four decades in the art business, beginning at Christie’s auction house, evolving through the partnership Knapton Rasti Asian Art in London and culminating in Rasti Fine Art in Hong Kong. Years in the making, the exhibition features a diverse array of objects that span over 2000 years of history. The curated display of porcelains, jades, paintings, and bronzes narrates the rich cultural connections between Iran, China, and the regions along the Silk Road.
