There is a nice article in the latest issue of Hamptons Magazine about Michael Hennessy Home in NYC. The gallery is on 207 West 18th Street and features works by artists with a connection to Long Island. I have Outdoor Bench #3 with them and I look forward to a continuing relationship with them.

Look for the latest issue of Hamptons Magazine pictured below and make sure to visit Michael Hennessy Home when in NYC. mhhome.net

Below is a snippet from the article which can be found here. Outdoor Bench #3 is paired with a painting by Eric Ernst.

I was approached by Newsday at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show. The article was published a few days ago and I was included in the show highlights! Here is a link to the article.

Architectural Digest Home Design Show Highlights
March 31, 2010 Newsday

I was approached by a producer of Voice Of America who wanted to interview me while I was participating in the Crafts America Show in Washington D.C.. He explained that the piece was about Iranian Artists who were exhibiting in the show. I had met the producer in New York City when he was producing a documentary on my father, Manoucher Yektai. I reminded him that I did not speak Farsi which meant that my only qualifications were being half Persian and the fact that i was born in Teheran Iran. He told me not to worry and that they would dub in a Farsi voice for me. I took this as an opportunity to be exposed to their audience of 14 million people Iranians both inside and outside of Iran. I also took this as an opportunity to upgrade my voice. I asked for a strong, authoritative voice for the voiceover. Anything is better than my natural voice!

I was happy to participate and to my surprise there were other artists at the show with ties to Iran.
