This exhibition, titled after a 2005 poem by the artist, traces four distinct series created between 1948 and 1963, and brings together some thirty paintings that reveal Yektai’s development from surrealist-inflected abstraction to his signature gestural abstraction. Yektai’s work charts a unique course in art history, drawing on Persian rugs, Iranian flora, calligraphic forms, domestic table settings, and mystical poetry. The results fuse Iranian and American visual vocabularies, Parisian modernism, and gestural painting, articulating a distinctly transnational vision within the New York School.
