Fateh Moudarres Estate

Rania Moudarres, The Artist's Daughter

The preparation of such an archive raisonné requires a sustained and methodical effort. Each work must be carefully documented, examined, and compared with existing archival material, photographic records, and provenance information. This process, fundamental to the integrity of the catalogue raisonné, is conducted according to rigorous scholarly standards and in collaboration with collectors, institutions, and specialists.

In parallel with this research, the Moudarres Estate continues the essential work of examining and authenticating artworks attributed to the artist. With the growing presence of works attributed to Fateh Moudarres on the international art market—particularly through auctions and galleries—the role of the Estate in ensuring reliable expertise has become increasingly important. The authentication process is conducted with the utmost rigor, based on stylistic analysis, archival documentation, provenance research, and comparison with verified works.

As the legal representative of the Estate, Rania Moudarres is responsible for the issuance of certificates of authenticity. Authentication and certification are carried out within the framework of the catalogue raisonné project and according to strict scholarly and documentary criteria. This process ensures the protection of the artist’s legacy while providing collectors and institutions with reliable expertise.

Collectors, galleries, auction houses, and institutions wishing to submit a work for authentication and possible inclusion in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné are invited to contact the Estate. Submissions should include high-resolution photographs of the work (minimum 300 dpi, front and back), together with all available information: title, date, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, exhibition history, bibliography, and any relevant documentation.

Following examination, each authenticated work will receive a reference number corresponding to its entry in the catalogue raisonné.
