Morteza Sazegar is an artist who was operating at the very heart of the Abstract Expressionist movement in post war New York. Practicing sophisticated and refined colour-field compositions, Sazegar exhibited at prestigious galleries including Poindexter and Corcoran Gallery, amongst luminaries like De Kooning, Mark Tobey and Philip Guston.

Sazegar's work is held by major museum collections in North America including the San Francisco MOMA and the Whitney Museum.
