TEHRAN – The originals of the calligraphy works published in “The Spring of Morning”, a book featuring a selection of poems by Mohammad-Ali Bahmani, will be showcased in an exhibition, which opens at the Imam Ali (AS) Religious Arts Museum in Tehran this evening.

The exhibition will put on display 43 works inscribed by some top calligraphers, including Gholam-Hossein Amirkhani, Yadollah Kaboli and Abbas Akhavein, some of whom are expected to attend the opening ceremony.

The collection for the book, which was published by Mirdashti Publications in April, was accumulated by Amir Jalilvand, a 32-year-old calligrapher and photographer.

In an interview published by the Tehran Times in October, Jalilvand said that he engaged in self-sacrifice to get the book published.

He also talked about his wish to organize exhibitions of the works in other countries. 

The exhibition will run through December 8 at the museum located at 35 Esfandiar Blvd., off Vali-e Asr Ave.
