Fereydoun Ave (pronounced “Ahv”) (born1945; Persian: فریدون آو) is an Iranian art collector, curator, painter, and sculptor.[1]

As an artist, some of Ave's works are housed in prestigious museums worldwide, including the British Museum,[2] the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art[3] in New York, Los Angeles County Museum of Art,[4]Victoria & Albert Museum,[5] and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.[6]

Early life

Ave was born in Tehran to a Zoroastrian family. At the age of eight, he was sent to a boarding school in England.[7] He received his BA in Applied Arts for Theatre from Arizona State University (1964), studied Film at New York University (1969), and attended the Semester at Sea (1964).[8]  Ave began his career in theatre, as graphic designer, and sets, costumes, and lighting designer for productions at City Theater of Tehran since its establishment in 1971. He also worked as the gallery director at Zand Gallery in Tehran and Hayden-Zand Gallery in Washington State, USA.[9]

Artistic Style

Over the past five decades, he has taken on many roles as an artist, designer, art director, collector, curator, gallerist, and art patron.

His preferred method, which he has employed in many of his works, involves making collages with traditional Persian fabrics and printed images, overlaid with nearly chaotic lines in paint. Due to his acquaintance and close association with Cy Twombly, Ave has sometimes drawn direct influence from this artist, a fact he readily acknowledges.
